The NBA might be hopeful of a December start for next season, but players may have another target in mind.

Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes reported Wednesday a “substantial faction of players and star players” are looking to open the 2020-21 season on Martin Luther King Jr. Day .

Of note, Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer reported NBA team presidents and general managers met on Wednesday, where they discussed a plan for a 72-game season that would start in late December:

“The NBA league office informed the board of governors that the projected value for teams and players with a Dec. 22 start versus a later date is more than a $500 million difference, sources said,” Charania wrote.
