NBA needs more time for schedule changes to 2021-22 season

MIAMI (AP) — The NBA has tabled plans for its board of governors to vote in April for what would have been significant changes to the league’s schedule for the 75th anniversary season in 2021-22.
The league is not scrapping the proposal for major changes, such as the addition of an in-season tournament and potentially the re-seeding of the last four playoff teams. But in a memo sent to teams Friday, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the league said it wants time to “develop a more comprehensive proposal and plan.”
The board of governors will still address the ideas for changes in April. But no vote is now expected to occur then. The league said last month in a detailed memo to teams that it had anticipated the vote taking place in April.
