The NBA has been working relentlessly to find a potential resolution to the 2019-20 season. The hiatus has lasted for nearly a month now, but parties recently came up with a mid-June return as an optimistic timeline, according to The Athletic.

This report comes after Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban suggested a possible return in June. However, Cuban and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver have made it clear that the league will not return until health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention give a full clearance to resume activities.

The NBA and NBPA just agreed to extend the moratorium on transactions indefinitely.

The league has discussed the possibility of continuing play in a “bubble” city like Las Vegas, potentially a two-week quarantine where teams can work out in solitary settings, then a two-week training camp followed by an abbreviated regular season and postseason.

That scenario would take away the fans from that equation.

If this plan comes to fruition, it would certainly push the NBA Draft to as late as September.

Another possibility is a play-in tournament for the seventh seed and a few teams below, allowing them to battle for playoff positioning.

President Donald Trump urged sports to resume as soon as possible, but Silver, along with many other sports commissioners, are more inclined to side with the advice from health professionals rather than Trump’s wishes.

MLB has kicked around plans for a potential return in May with teams effectively playing under a bubble in several Arizona stadiums. The UFC previously planned to hold UFC 249 on tribal lands, but it was canceled when Disney and ESPN executives asked president Dana White not to hold the event.

The NBA will act carefully and only resume if appropriate, as executives have also pondered the possibility of canceling the season altogether.
