This Coronavirus outbreak has left our sports world in pieces, but the NBA is trying to fix those pieces. The NBA has been doing their part in reopening facilities, doing interactive tournaments, amazing documentaries, and much more!
It has been already announced that Walt Disney Resort will be the hosting the NBA season, most likely. That is great for Disney to be the host of the NBA season. This is also great for the NBA, how? They’ll be able to return to basketball in a safe environment.
The NBA won’t separate families amid Coronavirus
What’s even more great is that the NBA will not be separating families from players or staff to finish the season. The NBA is needing about 15,000 to 100,000 COVID-19 tests to be done on people that have symptoms or needs a check-up.
This idea of keeping a safe environment doesn’t seem likely, a confirmed source already said on ESPN. “The NBA is not interested right now in a bubble where [players, coaches and staff] could not bring their families in.”
If they were to go through with this idea, it would take a lot of consideration before pulling the trigger. I couldn’t see Adam Silver and the rest of the NBA doing this, highly unlikely.
Well, for the time being it does not look like the NBA is making any decisions towards reopening the league any time soon. A guarantee is already made, the NBA WILL allow families to attend games inside the area. Currently, that is the only news regarding who will be let in besides the players, staff, and workers. So, yes, the NBA won’t separate families amid Coronavirus.
New reports regarding Las Vegas?
It has been reported that MGM, a Las Vegas company, pitched the idea of letting the NBA finishing its season there. MGM said that they can construct 24 courts for practice and for games. Also, can have connecting hotels to where the players, staff, families, ETC can get from their room to the gym/court.
So, between Walt Disney Resort in Florida and MGM in Las Vegas. Both are big spots and could easily hold the NBA season, these are the only two places that are known to be the current destination of the NBA season.
