the season.<\/p>\n<p>Dear NBA Fan,<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been more than four months since we last played NBA basketball.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/scores#\/\">Tonight<\/a>\u00a0we restart the season with 22 teams in Orlando and attempt to establish our new normal. \u00a0And while spectators won\u2019t be there in person, fans remain at the heart of our game.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re introducing several elements to improve the live game viewing experience, including multiple, new camera angles, enhanced audio of players and coaches, a feature on our NBA app that allows for virtual crowd reactions, customized alternative streams on NBA League Pass with statistical overlays and influencers calling the action, and video boards surrounding the court featuring hundreds of fans watching from home.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we recognize that this moment is about more than basketball. \u00a0It\u2019s an opportunity for NBA players and teams to continue a longstanding tradition of addressing important issues around social justice.<\/p>\n<p>These are difficult and challenging times, but the NBA is coming back because sports matter in society. \u00a0We hope that the return of the NBA \u2013 along with other major league sports \u2013 will enrich your lives.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to a whole new game!<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity width_100\">\n<div
