Originally slated to start on July 24, 2020, in Japan the Summer Olympics have been postponed until further notice- likely until the summer of 2021. As businesses and major sports everywhere are being canceled or postponed around the world this does not look good for a return of the 2019-2020 NBA Season.
An event as large as the Olympics with a gathering of athletes from all around the world being canceled four months in advance is a very telling sign.
Fans have been waiting for some kind of return date for the NBA season since it was shut down on March 11th after Utah Jazz center tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.
