According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBA will vote on a finalized plan to restart the season this Thursday. Although the details of the plan still need to be worked out, a potential 22-team restart would set Game 7 of the NBA Finals for Oct. 12.
It goes without saying, but a 22-team format would be a first for the NBA and it will take place in a “bubble” at Disney World in Orlando, FL. The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor recently reported that a 22-team format would include eight regular-season games and a play-in tournament for the eighth seed.
