NBA Hoping To Play Some Regular Season Games With Potentially ‘Truncated’ Playoffs

It has been three weeks since the NBA went on an indefinite hiatus on March 11 in order to help combat the spread of coronavirus.

In that time, they’ve discussed a number of ways to bring back the 2019-20 NBA season in order to help crown a champion for the 2020 NBA playoffs. Either way, it seems that playing the entirety of the remainder of the season is no longer in the cards.

Options to bring back the league have ranged from returning directly into the playoffs, playing at team practice facilities with no fans, and all the way to having all 30 teams stay in one or two hotels in Las Vegas to limit interaction with the outside world.
