NBA season may restart on Martin Luther King jr day, January 18, 2021.
John Hollinger — the former Grizzlies executive — wrote this for The Athletic about the Jan. 18 date.
For starters, I’ve heard people in the league talking about a potential MLK date for a while, even as the “official” word was targeting December.
Logistically, this seems about the limit of how far they want to push the date back. Going any later moves the bulk of the playoffs deeper into summer and perhaps even into competing with the NFL, like it did this year. Plus, there’s an accordion effect on the following season as well – at some point, the league needs to get back to something closer to its normal schedule.
