The NBA hasn't decided on a return this season, but if it does resume, Las Vegas may be its best option to conclude the 2019-20 season.
There is no doubt the coronavirus pandemic will leave its imprint on the sports world, but no league may suffer more than the National Basketball Association.
If the season can't resume, the NBA will need to consider revenue consequences of a canceled season, and how it will affect players' salaries, which are tied to games being played.a professor of finance at theLongtime sports media and marketing guru, the CEO of Ponturo Management Group, said he expects Silver to patiently examine all options before deciding the NBA's next step.
The NBA could decide to cancel the remainder of its regular-season and create a play-in tournament for lower-seeded teams to enter the postseason. The league could then set-up a best-of-five series for the first round, before moving to a one-and-done tournament to determine the two teams that will play in the NBA Finals, which would also be a best-of-five, people familiar with the planning said.
Portland Trail Blazers star CJ McCollum told CNBC he's intrigued by the idea of a modified tournament later this year. Like Silver, Cuban expressed optimism the NBA would return "as early as we can, without spectators, just on TV and streaming and just give people something to celebrate."
