Morphology
The meaning 'the period when organized basketball games are played' is directly and predictably composed from 'basketball' (the sport) + 'season' (a period marked by events). This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common compounding patterns found in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase basketball season uses season in its old meaning of a 'time of year' for regular activities like harvests or fairs. So, basketball season now means the scheduled period each year when teams play games.
