The Cleveland Cavaliers are open to exploring virtual reality technology to aid in players' training amid the COVID-19 pandemic, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters Wednesday.

Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor reported the Cavs are planning to open their practice facility Friday. General manager Koby Altman and the team's medical staff informed players of the move Wednesday, per Fedor.

The NBA announced April 27 it could allow teams to open their training facilities as early as Friday, though restrictions will be in place to limit the potential spread of the coronavirus.
