At this point, the 2019-20 NBA season is reportedly likely to play out in some capacity at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World. Whether or not non-playoff teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers will be participating, though, is up in the air.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on ESPN’s Get Up on Monday said that there’s a “really good chance” that the league just goes right to a 16-team playoff format upon a resumption this summer, as h/t Forbes‘ Chris Grenham. Grenham did note how Windhorst alluded to how that scenario would have to pass an owner’s vote, though.
