With the season being pushed back until early 2021, are the players especially the imports who are here, getting paid? or do they have to wait until the season kicks off?
Australian players are, it's part of the agreement re payment cuts. Contracts run to the end of April, so it’s going to be a short season. If they start late January, it will be three months.
Most players would not qualify or get job keeper, it finishes at months end anyway.
Jobkeeper does not end at the end of the month it reduces.

Local players have been getting paid for the 2020-21 season since mid-August.
On nbl.com.au Kestleman is quoted as saying the 2020-21 season will be a full season. Also said it would start mid January at the earliest. Suggests it could be short, but not as short as ending in April. This comes from a statement released on 14 September.
