The NBA and the Players Association have agreed to push back the start of next season, as well as the NBA draft and the start of free agency, according to The Athletic. The report says the 2020-21 season will begin later than the current December 1st planned date, and the draft, set for October 16th, and the start of free agency, planned for October 18th, are both also being delayed.

The new dates haven’t been reported, but The Athletic said the draft will still take place in October. The current coronavirus-delayed season is set to end in October.
