NBA and NBPA reach agreement, playoffs to resume on Saturday

After a dramatic series of events on Wednesday night, with the Milwaukee Bucks refusing to take the floor for Game 5 of their series against the Orlando Magic in the NBA’s Disney World Bubble, we’ve reached a tentative agreement. Over the past 48 hours, it felt like the restarted season would indeed shutdown for good after a players’ led strike action — or so-called boycott — and then it seemed like maybe they’d be back sooner rather than later.

The latter turned out to be true, with both ESPN and Yahoo reporting events from a Thursday night meeting called by the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) to decide how to move forward.
