NBA Board of Governors Approve Return to Play; Players Vote Today

The NBA's Board of Governors approved a 22-team format for returning to play next month at the Walt Disney World resort on a 29-1 vote Thursday.

The Players Association is to vote today on the plan, under which teams will play an eight-game slate of games starting July 31 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex that will help determine playoff seeding. There could then be a play-in tournament for the final spot in the Eastern and Western Conferences for the postseason.

The teams will stay, practice and play at Disney and the NBA Finals will likely go into October.
