The NBA plans to divide its 30s into groups that will play in regional venues for the 2020–21 season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski:
“This time, ideas center on regional sites and windows of participation that would extend a month for teams, sources said. After that, teams would go home and train—perhaps for two weeks—and move onto the next regional bubble against a new pod of teams. Orlando is a consideration, and Las Vegas—a finalist for this summer’s restart—would reemerge as a possible site too, sources said.”
A december 1 start date was replaced to start the 2020-21 normal season, however, the league is open to begin in early 2021 if that gives the league more time to host fan arena games.
This, of course, at a number of points similar to COVID-19.
By Wojnarowski:
“There is hope for vaccines, however, the league has prepared the groups for the truth that mass distribution would be for a full year,” Resources said. At the moment, there is also skepticism about the reliability of immediate reaction tests. that advances in generation can simply ease tactics to take enthusiasts to the arenas, even if that means less than capacity. Teams are already modeling features that come with a few thousand enthusiasts to buildings closer to their capacity. “
The NBA bubble-shaped campus at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida, is home to the league reboot, which consists of 8 regular-season games for the 22 groups they offer, as well as a series of 16-team playoffs in four rounds.
The bubble has been a resounding success thus far, most notably because no player has tested positive for COVID-19 since entering the campus. Therefore, hosting games in Orlando would make sense, and the same goes for Las Vegas, where the league invites all 30 teams for summer league play every year.
But maintaining two weeks of normal season action for 22 more bands is probably much less difficult to do in one position than having 30 groups in a normal six-month season and 82 games plus the playoffs. The group department at the regional point turns out to be the most prudent option until the league can safely return to the arenas with the fans.
Wojnarowski also mentioned, however, that the league is open to gambling on services “that are more successful and more easily reusable for television.”
For now, the league will end its normal season on Friday. The playoffs begin on August 17 and are expected to take up no later than October 30 when the seventh game of the NBA Finals is scheduled (if necessary).

The “mathematically eliminated” will come out of the bubble on August 13.
