At this point, it appears the entire NBA schedule is going to have to be changed now. Moreover, as each day passes, it feels like the 2019-20 season is going to end up getting canceled altogether.

The NBA needs approximately three months to fully complete the season, per ESPN. There are 259 regular-season games remaining on the schedule. To play a full four-round postseason, the NBA would need a maximum of 55 days.

There is support within the NBA for the 2020-21 season to start in December and extend through late July or August. The further the NBA pushes back the start of the current season, the better the odds they give themselves on getting fans back into arenas, although fan-less games will probably end up happening to begin things when sports are initially resumed.

Before the league suspended the season, the Milwaukee Bucks had the best record in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers were atop the Western Conference standings and the Golden State Warriors had the worst mark in the league.
