The NBA is offering up its clearest sign yet that they are working to move forward with finishing their season.
According to NBA spokesperson Mike Bass, the league has entered “exploratory conversations” with the Walt Disney Company to use Disney World in Florida as its sole site for NBA games. The statement says that the plan would be to begin playing games there in late July.

This gives us two things: a potential timeline and a clear notion that the NBA is looking to adopt a single-site plan. There had been some speculation that the league might use two sites, but this seems increasingly unlikely.
What is clear is that the NBA is determined to finish its season if at all possible. Now we know where that might take place, and when it may be able to happen.
