While the NBA has been on hiatus for more than two months due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the league appears to be in the final stages of discussions and evaluations for its return.
While the logistics are not yet sorted out, the NBA is reportedly targeting a July 31 return date to finish out the season, with all games likely taking place at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
That is good news for the league, but especially the Los Angeles Lakers, who hold the best record in the Western Conference at 49-14 and have a legitimate shot at winning their 17th championship in franchise history.
