The NBA has announced that schedule for the 72-game 2020-21 NBA season will be released on two halves. According to ESPN, the first part of the schedule, which will be played from December 22 to March 4, will be released around December 1 (the beginning of training camp). The break in the schedule will be from March 5-10. (ESPN refers to this as the “All-Star Break”, although as of now there has been no mention of an All-Star game being played, plus that’s a much shorter break than usual.)
During this time the league will set the second half of the schedule, which will be played March 11 through May 16.
