The 2014-15 NBA regular-season is scheduled to begin on Oct. 28 and conclude on April 15, with the 2015 playoffs beginning on April 18.
The NBA is poised to turn the All-Star break into All-Star week this coming season, the Sun Sentinel has learned, providing teams with a full week off at midseason.
The move, which would give players seven days off between games in mid-February, would result in an increase of one or two back-to-back sets per team for the coming season, a party familiar with the process said.

The release of the 2014-15 NBA schedule has been pushed back into August to allow the league's television partners to adjust for the dramatic shakeup created by free agency, including the shift of LeBron James from the Miami Heat to Cleveland Cavaliers.
Commissioner Adam Silver hinted at the possibility of such a change during this past season's All-Star Weekend.
"That's something I've heard directly from the players on," Silver said in February. "They're saying that if we, if they could get a few more days off around All¿Star -- especially the All¿Stars, I think, who, as we all know, are so busy over the course of these few days -- it would be helpful to them to get some additional rest.
"Of course our season is so concentrated right now, that will require us to push back the season a few days. So we'll continue to look at it. It's an awfully long season right now. So I'm not sure we want to go too much longer. But we'll look at it."
