Report: NBA Planning 25-Day Window to Resume Season

The NBA is planning a 25-day window among its efforts to resume the 2019-20 season, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The league is reportedly taking its time in preparing a "back-to-basketball" plan that would gradually reintroduce players to the competitive landscape. In a potential 25-day plan, players would first spend 11 days in individual workouts while practicing social distancing before being involved in two weeks of training camp, which would include five-on-five practices.

As Windhorst notes, the latter part of the plan would require clearance in order to be executed. NBA training facilities are currently closed as social distancing is being enforced across the country due to the coronavirus pandemic.
