NBA pushes back plans for April vote on schedule changes

MIAMI >> The NBA no longer expects the league’s board of governors to vote in April on whether to make significant changes to the league’s schedule in time for the 75th anniversary season in 2021-22.

The changes remain a real possibility. The new twist, as detailed in a memo the NBA sent to teams Friday, is that much of the feedback the league received on the ideas for change suggested that more time is necessary to implement them correctly.

In the memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the league told its teams that it is “now working to develop a more comprehensive proposal and plan.”
