Last night, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) voted to confirm the NBA’s plan to start the 2020-21 season on December 22 in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. This makes for a slightly reduced year of 72 regular season games (plus playoffs), while more clearly defining some other financial details still to work out.
The NBPA player rep vote has completed, approving a December 22 start/72-game regular season, source tells ESPN. Next up: NBA/NBPA finishes financial terms on amended CBA, which will take into next week.
