The 2020-21 NBA season is set to begin Dec. 22, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of turnaround time.
The Los Angeles Lakers just took home the 2020 NBA title in October in the Orlando, Fla. bubble and now teams have a few weeks to rest up and get ready for the new slate of games.
It also means there’s work to be done by the organizations and arenas, most notably regarding whether or not fans will be allowed.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Monday the NBA is expecting anywhere from five to 10 teams to allow fans.
Which teams that will be, however, remain a mystery. It’s also unclear what capacity limits will be in order to allow for social distancing, and if masks will be required.
Either way, it probably will look a bit different than the last time fans were at a game dating back to March.
