NBA commissioner Adam Silver explains when 2021 season could begin, SNY reported 9/22/2020. It won't be Christmas, previously the "earliest" estimate. His "best guess," for now, is January, and with a full 82-game season, but who knows.

From NetsDaily's summary:
One suggestion rumbling around the league is that NBA games could start again around Martin Luther King weekend in the middle of January. MLK Day next year is January 18.
