Two months to the day after the National Basketball Association's coronavirus-disrupted season ended with the Los Angeles Lakers winning the championship, players were back on the courts Friday for the start of the preseason for 2020-21.

The regular season will begin on December 22 and be shortened to 72 games. Players will be traveling as usual, not playing in a bubble environment like last season.

 


Florida's Johnson Collapses On Court

Florida forward Keyontae Johnson remained in critical but stable condition Sunday, according to the team, one day after he collapsed on the court during a game at Florida State.

No information has been released about what might have caused Johnson to collapse as the teams came out of a timeout early in the game. Johnson, a 21-year-old junior, tested positive for Covid-19 during the summer.
