Report: NBA Continuing to Discuss Possible December Start to 2020-21 Season

As the NBA continues to weigh how to handle the remainder of the 2019-20 season, commissioner Adam Silver and the NBA Board of Governors continued its conversations on Friday about possibly delaying the start of next season until December, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Per ESPN, the NBA is considering pushing the start of the 2020-21 season back to December "independent of whether" the 2019-20 season is completed.

The NBA season usually starts in mid-to-late October.

While ESPN reports that there are no immediate plans to decide on the league's calendar, delaying the start of next season could allow fans to get back into league arenas for most of next year.
