The NBA is considering pushing back the start of training camps until Monday, multiple league executives told Yahoo! Sports.
The league office was polling team executives over the past 48 hours about the possibility, sources said. Despite the discussions, no final decision has been made.
Friday is the first day that teams are allowed to sign free agents and make trades. Training camps, scheduled to start the same day, could be pre-empted to allow teams to assemble fuller and more complete rosters.

UPDATE: This won’t happen. Training camps will start Friday, December 9 as planned.
