With time running out for the NBA to get the next season started by Christmas (or a few days earlier), the Players Association is reportedly holding a vote on Thursday or Friday this week to decide on a preferred start date.
The two options are Dec. 22 or Jan. 18 (MLK Day), per reporting from Shams Charania of The Athletic. Player representatives from each team (Terance Mann is the rep for the Clippers) have been on calls with Michele Roberts and the rest of the NBPA leadership to discuss the pros and cons of each start date and the financial ramifications.
