National Basketball Players Association representatives approved the NBA's 22-team format to complete the 2019-2020 season, sources told ESPN on Friday.

The NBA and NBPA will work through a number of details in the next week on the resumption in Orlando, but sides are ready to move together toward the July 31 season resumption, the sources said.

The NBPA player leadership was informed of a plan to keep 1,600 people in the Orlando bubble at any given time, sources said. Players' families, likely three members at a time, would be allowed to join players in Orlando after the first-round of the playoffs.
