“By my best guess, the new season won’t start until 2021,” Silver told CNN. The NBA commissioner also added that the new season aims to play all 82 games of the regular season.
The NBA previously announced that the 2020-2021 season could begin during St. Christmas.
82 NBA regular season games may mean that national team basketball players who play in the league will not be able to participate in the Olympic playoffs and the Olympics.
The Tokyo 2021 Games basketball tournament will begin on July 24. Right now, it will be impossible for NBA players, especially those who will play the playoffs, to contribute their national teams.
We remind you that the national team of our country will play in the additional Olympic qualifying tournament, which will take place in Lithuania, due to the right to participate in the Olympic Games.
According to the scenario proposed by A. Silveris for the new season, neither Jonas Valančiūnas nor Domantas Sabonis will probably be able to wear the shirt of the Lithuanian national team.
