It took months of planning and brainstorming, but the NBA and the NBPA finally approved on a plan to bring back the 2019-20 NBA season.
The two parties agreed on a 22-team format that will include a possible play-in tournament for the final playoff spot in the Western and Eastern Conferences. It will all take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on the Walt Disney World campus in Orlando, Fla.
The bubble location will be the host of a few exhibition games, followed by eight regular-season games and then the playoffs.
The announcement of the season’s return was met with much excitement and joy as the league has been on pause since March 11.
