The Lakers and Bucks are two of the top championship contenders when the NBA season resumes play.
The NBA season will resume play in Orlando on Thursday, July 30 with the playoffs set to start on Monday, August 17. The Jazz and Pelicans will be the first game in Orlando at 6:30 p.m. Eastern on July 30. This will be followed by a Los Angeles showdown as the Clippers square off with the Lakers at 9 p.m.
If there are play-in games, they will take place on August 15-16. The NBA released the full schedule for the 22 teams heading to Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando but everything is subject to change based on how COVID-19 continues to impact the country.
There has been growing concern about the viability of the NBA resuming play at Disney given the rising cases in Florida. NBA commissioner Adam Silver noted that the league is “still very comfortable being in Orlando” thanks to the stringent guidelines put in place for the Disney campus.
