Live broadcast, June 2 news NBA President Adam Xiaohua talked about the rumors that the alliance may shorten the schedule in today’s interview.
Xiao Hua said: “There is no plan to shorten the schedule at present. An interesting phenomenon is that some people may be surprised by some things we have seen this season, which has created the highest attendance rate in history, there are more people watching NBA games than at any time in history, so obviously our fans do not want to reduce the number of games.”
“But for me, as the scientific research on injuries becomes more and more advanced, if we have better data to show that shorter schedules and fewer back-to-back numbers will have a significant impact, I think we will take this issue seriously.” Xiao Hua said.
