Rejoice, sports fans.
Again, I say, rejoice!
The NBA is back.
The return became official Thursday with a nearly unanimous vote of the NBA’s board of governors. The plan has 22 teams at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando playing eight regular-season games each, a possible play-in tournament for the eighth seed, then the playoffs.
Lots of details and specifics are still to be ironed out, but don’t let that distract from the big news.
Basketball is set to return.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
The NBA is the first of the four major-league sports in America to cement a plan for play amid the coronavirus pandemic.
