The NBA has set a tentative schedule for the upcoming season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The schedule is as follows:
- December 22: Opening night
- March 5-10: All-Star Break (minus an ASG)
- May 16: Regular season ends
- May 17-to-21: Play-In Tournament for 7-to-10 seeds.
- May 22: First-round playoffs
- June 7: Conference semifinals
- June 22: Conference Finals
- July 8-22: NBA Finals
The Play-In Tournament still needs approval from the league, though Wojnarowski calls it a "formality."
The No. 7 and No. 8 seeds will need to win one game to stay in the playoffs, while the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds will need to win twice to enter the playoffs.
The trade window is set to open on Monday at noon ET.
