LeBron James, due to the coronavirus, will not play unless fans are attending games.

The coronavirus has been spreading rapidly across the world and the NBA wants to make sure none of their players, staff, workers, ETC are getting any where near the virus.

The league has already warned players from not taking pens, balls, jerseys, and markers from the crowd as that could liken the chance of getting this virus.

It seems now the NBA is preparing everyone in the NBA that fans might now be attending games anymore as it was sent in a memo by the league, Europe leagues have already done this without having any fans nor media.

The memo did say that be prepared “if it were to become necessary to play a game with only essential staff present.”

When reporters asked LeBron James, who played incredible and got 37 points in a victory over the Bucks, about having no fans at the stadium this is what he said.

“We play games without the fans? Nah, that’s impossible,” James said. “I ain’t playing if I ain’t got the fans in the crowd. That’s who I play for. I play for my teammates, and I play for the fans. That’s what it’s all about. So if I show up to an arena and there ain’t no fans in there, I ain’t playing. They can do what they want to do.”

Plus teams should also prepare “for the possibility of implementing temperature checks on players, team staff, referees, and anyone else who is essential to conducting such a game in the team’s arena.”

So now we wait to see what is going to happen, if fans are going to show up or not. If they won’t, then which NBA team will it be first?
