Due to the different epidemic prevention measures in the United States, the NBA teams need the NBA to unify to decide whether to return to the state of empty games, in addition, the current regular season has just finished a third, it is impossible to continue to return to disneyland games as in 2020, one is that the current regular season stage can not cut the team, Disney can not fit, the second is that Disney has not yet closed, the NBA wants to go back now is unlikely, it is estimated that when many stars are absent in the Christmas war, commercial income is hit hard. The NBA will do something about it.
