The regular season is slated to end on August 14, and in a couple of days, August 17, it will kick off in the playoffs.

The NBA championship expansion will open on July 30, as it should be, due to the Los Angeles top team derby in the west: the Lakers’ confrontation with the Clippers. On the same day, the Utah Jazz will also meet with the New Orleans Pelicans, which includes Zion Williamson.

Jonas Valančiūnas, represented by the Memphis Grizzlies, will return to the field on July 31, when they will face the Portland Trail Blazers, and Indiana Pacers with Domantas Sabonis will wake up on August 1, when they will face the Philadelphia 76-ers.

In the current table of the Eastern tournament, “Ristūnai” (39/26) is fifth, so in the quarterfinals they will see a series with a competitor of similar ability: Miami “Heat”. If successful at this stage, it would be a new peak for Domantas: he has never played in the conference semifinals.

At the time, one of the season’s biggest graduates, the Memphis Grizzlies with J. Valančiūnas (32/33), who is eighth in the West and is watching a possible series with the Los Angeles Lakers, will have to shrug his shoulders at the right to fight in the playoffs. all eight will still have to compete with four competitors: Trail Blazers, Pelicans, Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs.

Remember that the renewed NBA March in Florida will continue with 22 teams out of 30.

All NBA extended season games will be played at the Walt Disney Theme Park in Orlando, which will be attended by 16 teams entering the regular playoffs, as well as other clubs that still have a chance to enter all eight in the East or West conference.

Training camps will begin on June 30, before which all players will be tested for coronaviruses.

The NBA Final is slated for no later than October 12, followed by a rookie swap and transfer window.
