NBL delays free agency until May
Due to COVID-19, the Hungry Jack's National Basketball League (NBL) has agreed with the Australian Basketball Players’ Association to postpone commencement of the forthcoming free agency period.
The free agency period, which was due to start on March 30, will be delayed until at least 1 May, unless the parties agreed in the meantime on a basis to commence sooner.
Interesting that this has been delayed, as you might think that free agent discussions could be done remotely to still comply with social distancing. What would be the main reasons for the delay? Is the NBL trying to see if their calendar for next year will be affected?
