Silver to CNN: A later NBA season may disrupt Olympic plans

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that his ”best guess” is that next season will not start until at least January, plus acknowledged that the later-than-usual schedule could mean top U.S. men’s players miss next summer’s Tokyo Olympics. Silver, a guest in a series of panel discussions on CNN, did not indicate that any decisions are finalized. ”I continue to believe that we’re going to be better off getting into January,” Silver said in a discussion with Bob Costas during part of the ”Citizen by CNN” event.
