NBA Deciding What to Do about Eight Teams Not Playing in Orlando

With the NBA set to resume the 2019-20 season with 22 teams who were invited to participate in the restart at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, it has led to a discussion for those left on the outside.

The aforementioned selected teams will arrive between July 7-9 and players will be required to turn in negative coronavirus (COVID-19) tests before being allowed to engage in basketball activities.

Those who are cleared will then be able to practice and workout ahead of the July 30 restart date. While the plans for the remainder of the regular season are set, there is still the question as to what the other eight teams who will not be playing in Orlando will do.
