It seems that the NBA governors have voted to resume the 2019-2020 season in Orlando. This will likely be at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and perhaps we will get confirmation on the Coronado Springs rumor soon as well.
Here’s what’s being said on Twitter:
NBA to Walt Disney World approved by NBA Board of Governors. https://t.co/Svgf2Ixxh0

Apparently there will be another vote tomorrow by the NBPA team player representatives.
The NBPA’s team player representatives have a conference call set for Friday to approve the league’s 22-team plan on restarting the season, sources tell ESPN.

Scott Gustin, the source of the Coronado Springs rumor added that
The vote was 29-1. I can only assume the 1 is an NBA owner who prefers Universal.

The teams would arrive in Orlando around July 7th and the season would run from July 31 until October 12.
Update: NBA expected to travel to WDW on/around July 7.
