NBA fans won’t see any games on the schedule on Tuesday as the league has elected to take the day off in order to encourage voter participation and civic engagement on Election Day.
The NBA announced the decision prior to the start of the 2022–23 season, encouraging fans to “make a plan to vote during midterm elections” on Nov. 8. The league also revealed that it would generate a slate of content focused on voting, while also sharing resources from voting organizations to inform fans about the importance of civic engagement.
Franchises distributed localized voting resources from team social media accounts throughout the day on Tuesday.
