NBA Restart Scrimmages
As the official restart date for the NBA steadily approaches, the league has taken the next step towards its comeback: scrimmages. As of July 22, various teams have started playing designated scrimmages within the bubble. Each of the 22 teams are to play three scrimmage games before the season continues; according to sources, the NBA will use 10-minute quarters in their first game, before returning to 12-minute quarters for the other two. These scrimmages will continue for about a week, ending on July 28. With this, teams will be able to ease back into the competition and vigor of a professional basketball season.
