The NBA has been inching its way toward a comeback for some time, and now the league seems to have a date for a return in sight.
July 15 appears to be the target date for the continuation of the 2019-20 season.
Though it wasn’t ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski or The Athletic’s Shams Charania who broke this bit of news. It was actually Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who did so after John Geiger tweeted the league would be back in action on June 21.
Dinwiddie set the record straight, stating June 21 is when practices will resume. But games will not begin until mid-July — and they will take place at a bubble site. The location of the site is still unknown, though reports indicate Disney World is the favorite at this stage.
That’s just practice… I heard those last 5 games at bubble site start July 15th. https://t.co/EsF3omehYQ
