When will the 2019/2020 NBA season restart?

NBA officials are pushing ahead with new plans to restart the current basketball season next month.

A July restart date would mean that the NBA post-season would extend through until October - the month the following 2020/21 season would ordinarily get underway.

Unnamed sources from a recent ESPN report suggest that the newly proposed timeline will go soon go before of a board of governors.

A variety of innovative ideas have been put forward throughout recent weeks on how to complete the current campaign.

One motion, presented by commissioner Adam Silver, has been a 22-team playoff model to finalise the top eight seeds in each division.

With regards to the big question of where? , there have been several recent reports that the NBA are currently in ongoing discussions with The Walt Disney Company with the plan to finish games at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.

The resort contains hotels, three separate arenas and would easily limit any potential outside exposure.

Here in the UK, live NBA action would resume on Sky Sports who have a video recap of the season available here.

As things stand, the Milwaukee Bucks top the Eastern Conference with LeBron James' LA Lakers out in front in the West.
