Lakers News: Jared Dudley Says NBA Players Will Be Allowed To Leave ‘Bubble,’ But With That Comes Risk Of Punishment

Things seem to be moving slowly towards the NBA resuming play and finishing out the 2019-20 season, which is great for teams like the Los Angeles Lakers who had legit championship aspirations this year.

The league and players have been discussing numerous different possibilities with guidelines on a return expected and the city of Orlando looking like the location where everything will take place. One of the main sticking points is the need for players to be more or less contained in an area.

Players going out and interacting with the general public would greatly increase the risk of someone else contracting COVID-19 and potentially spreading it to others around the league which could cause another shutdown.
