The NBA reportedly could play Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Oct. 12th, according to reports from Adrian Wojnorowski of ESPN.
Woj has more HERE as he spoke with Scott Van Pelt of ESPN:

The league is targeting a July 31st return date and Shams Charania of ‘The Athletic” has more HERE as well…
“The NBA’s 22-team format at Orlando’s Disney World would bring the 16 teams currently in a playoff spot, six additional teams, and include a play-in tournament for the eighth seed, sources said. The play-in tournament would work as follows, according to sources: If the ninth seed is more than four games behind the eighth seed, the eighth seed earns the playoff spot; if the ninth seed is four or fewer games behind, then the eighth and ninth seed will enter a play-in tournament that is double-elimination for the eighth seed and single-elimination for ninth. ESPN first reported the league was working on 22-team models.”
Woj then adds this:
Each of the 22 teams will play eight regular season games in Orlando for seeding purposes for the playoffs, sources tell ESPN.
