With each state having different restrictions on in-person events, it can become difficult to figure out which National Basketball Association teams are allowing fans, and which will be playing in front of empty arenas. The NBA released an updated list on January 1, and below is a simplified version many fans want to know: does my team allow fans or not? And exactly which teams around the league are allowing fans? As cases are changing daily, this list could easily change as well. In a challenging season like no other, the league continues to try to save the season, accommodating the different state regulations in all regions of the league.

Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs, Washington Wizards
