The NBA’s goal of a December return won’t be easy. Could the Wizards benefit from it though?

On Friday, reports surfaced that the NBA may open the season as early as Dec. 22 with a 72 game regular season that ultimately ends before the Tokyo Olympics in July. I was definitely rather pessimistic on such a start, not because of basketball restarting, but rather because the season would be starting while a second wave of coronavirus cases makes its way through the United States and Canada (remember the Toronto Raptors!).

And I’m not alone. Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated also wrote that he wasn’t optimistic about a December start.
