The NBA will hold discussions on a comeback plan for this season during a board of governors meeting. Friday.
While this is considered a key meeting, the NBA is unlikely to announce a decision Friday as to how it will resume its suspended season, a league source said.
Later on Thursday, ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski said that NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed that Friday’s meeting wouldn’t include a formal vote on a return-to-play plan. He mentioned that talks plan to continue into the weekend.
Also on Thursday, the NBA met with the league’s 30 general managers, who had been sent a survey on how to resume the season. The GMs have been convening weekly among themselves.
The National Basketball Players Association would have to approve any plan the owners present.
The NBA source said that the owners and the union have maintained a strong working relationship in discussing a return.
According to published reports, there are several possibilities to resume the season, likely at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.
There is still the possibility that the regular season could resume in some form. The NBA has many options, including starting the playoffs immediately with the top 16 teams facing off. Everything is apparently on the table.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has repeatedly said there is no timetable for a return as the league continues to deal with all the issues it must address in order to restart. But teams are reportedly expecting the league office to issue guidelines around June 1. The season was suspended March 11.
