NBA Announces Schedule for Season Restart

The NBA has been announcing its schedule ahead of the resumption of games. The league indicated that players are required to report to training on Tuesday.

Several tentative dates have been set, such as from June 23 to June 30 when teams can have four players and up to 10 personnel from the coaching staff and other assistants at the training facilities.

It has been stated that from July 1 to July 9, eight players will be allowed to practice at the facilities simultaneously.

After July 9, unless there is a coronavirus outbreak among players or other major issues in Florida, the 22 teams will travel to Orlando for a full training camp in preparation for the season restart.

The 2019-2020 championship will resume on July 30 in Orlando. The 22 teams will participate in an eight-game schedule to determine the teams that advance to the playoffs.

If a team is within four games of the eighth-place spot, the NBA will hold a play-in tournament on August 15 and 16 to determine the final playoff spot.

The playoffs will take place from August 17 to August 31, while the semifinals stage will begin on September 13. Starting from this date, players' families and invited guests will be allowed at the Walt Disney World Resort.

The conference finals will be held from September 15 to September 28, and the NBA Finals will take place from September 30 to October 13.

Once the NBA season concludes and a champion is crowned, the league will transition almost immediately to the offseason. The 2020 NBA Draft will take place on October 16, and the free agency period will begin two days later on October 18.
