This is stated in a statement published on the channel's website.

Broadcasts will resume on October 10, when the fifth NBA Finals match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat will take place.

In October 2019, CCTV suspended the NBA due to a conflict between China and the league, fueled by Houston general manager Daryl Morey's stance on the Hong Kong protests.

Earlier it was reported that the Lakers will play in uniform in honor of Kobe Bryant in the fifth match of the NBA Finals.
