In Brief: NBA’s plan to return to play
By The Associated Press
The NBA has told the National Basketball Players Association that it will present a 22-team plan for restarting the season to the league’s board of governors Thursday.
The teams that will be going to the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex on the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida, would play eight games to determine playoff seeding starting around July 31 before the postseason begins.
The plan, once approved, would have 13 Western Conference teams and nine Eastern Conference teams going to Disney, and the cutoff being that teams must be within six games of a playoff spot at this point. Playoffs would start in August, and the NBA Finals will likely stretch into October.
