The National Basketball Players Association board of representatives voted Thursday night to approve a plan for a Dec. 22nd start to the season that includes a reduced 72-game schedule, clearing the way for the league and union to finalize details on the 2020-21 season, the NBPA announced.
The NBPA's board of player representatives voted to approve the pre-Christmas start on a conference call with NBPA executive director Michele Roberts, sources said.
The NBA and NBPA are planning to discuss the opening of free agency as quickly as possible after the Nov. 18th NBA draft to accommodate a player movement with such a short window to the opening of training camps on Dec. 1.
