The NBA will be back in action with the upcoming exhibition games, which consist of 10-minute quarters.
As the schedule for the exhibition progresses, the regular 12-minute quarters return, but if the players are out of action for more than four months, the first practice games will go much faster. According to reports, the NBA wants to relieve the teams not only because of time constraints, but also because some clubs do not yet have full cadres.
The NBA exhibition game schedule starts on Wednesday with four games. The Orlando Magic meets the Los Angeles Clippers, the Washington Wizards the Denver Nuggets, the New Orleans Pelicans the Brooklyn Nets and the Sacramento Kings the Miami Heat.
The 12-minute quarter returns with each team’s second exhibition game. All teams are expected to play three games before the regular season resumes on July 30th.
All NBA games from July 30 through the end of the season will be staged in the Orlando, Florida region due to the Coronavirus pandemic that the league closed in March.
