If you tuned in to the NBA last night, you got to see every single team take the court. Tonight, on November 5, the opposite will happen.
Due to the 2024 presidential election, every single team in the league will have a night off on Tuesday. The league made a similar decision in 2022 for the midterm elections.
This is the first time that the league has scheduled no games for a presidential election, but the idea is to promote voting and once again “encourage fans and the broader NBA community to participate in the civic process” this year, per NBA.com.
Basketball will quickly return to its regularly scheduled programing with an enjoyable slate to look forward to on Wednesday.
