NBA exhibition games to have 10 minute quarters

The slot of 33 games are set to start on Wednesday.

The upcoming slate of NBA exhibition games will feature shortened 10 minute quarters instead of the usual 12 minutes, as reported by ESPN.

Part of the league’s reasoning for shortening each quarter involves decreasing player load after they have been out for the past four months. The league is still ironing out details, such as whether to let teams wear their full uniforms or practice gear.
