NBA Scrimmage Schedule: Exhibition games to begin July 22
NBA exhibition scrimmages are set to begin July 22
It’s been so far so good for the NBA’s restart bubble in Orlando. Teams have been in the bubble for almost two weeks and there hasn’t been any disastrous spreading of COVID-19 in the bubble. In fact, no players have tested positive for the virus beyond the initial quarantining phase.
All in all, that has to be considered good news for the NBA. While practices have been in full swing over the last week, this week team scrimmages (which are to work as exhibition games) are set to begin in anticipation for the start of the eight seeding games July 30.
Each team will get three exhibition games against teams that they likely won’t play in the playoffs. The exhibition games are set to begin July 22, with eight teams playing.
