The NBA officially announced a new 7-year agreement with the NBPA: “The NBA and National Basketball Players Association have reached a tentative agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, pending ratification by players and team governors. Specific details will be made available once a term sheet is finalized”.
A new in-season tournament could come as soon as the 2023-24 season, with “pool-play games baked into the regular-season schedule starting in November, with eight teams advancing to a single-elimination tournament in December. The Final Four will be held at a neutral site, with Las Vegas prominent in the discussion”, as reported by ESPN.
Finally, the NBA is tying eligibility for postseason awards such as All-NBA teams and MVP to a mandatory 65 games played, in order to reduce the load management and missing games by star players during the Regular Season.
