The National Basketball Association (NBA), which is preparing for the resumption of the season in Orlando, will allow teams to accelerate in friendly matches.
ESPN reports that the NBA has decided to shorten the halves of the first friendly game from 12 to 10 minutes.
In this way, the league aims to reduce the risk of injury for basketball players who have not played for a long time, and also most clubs will still not be able to play full games in the early games, as some players they are forced to quarantine.
It is true that the reduced time of the match will only be in the first friendly meetings. The other two friendly matches will be played by the teams in the usual way: 48 minutes.
The first friendly will take place next Wednesday, when the Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic will meet.
The first official restart game of the NBA season will take place on July 30.
