NBA Rumors: OKC Thunder Owner Clay Bennett Advocating For Non-Playoff Teams

After weeks of evaluating several return-to-play formats, NBA commissioner Adam Silver reportedly is expected to present a 22-team plan for an Orlando bubble and hold a formal vote Thursday.

The vote to take 22 teams to Walt Disney World is expected to overwhelmingly pass. Of course, there remains plenty of speculation regarding what comes of the remaining eight teams that will continue to be on hiatus since the NBA shut down the season back in March.

Teams have already had to take unprecedented action amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in order to deal with the financial blow they suffered during the unexpected suspension.
