The NBA has its return date.
Everyone around the league now has a target reach. There will be a month of training camp and getting back into basketball and playing shape and then a few weeks at Disney to get acclimated.
July 31 cannot come soon enough for both players and fans.
Every team will need time to get back onto the court and back into rhythm. But the long delay has opened some new doors. Every team is wondering a lot about whether players they thought were done for the season could return.
Three months is a long time.
