The NBA and sports leagues across the country continue to assess the feasibility of returning to play amidst the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. One part of a return for any league will have to be extensive testing, particularly with quick returns.
While there continues to be work toward finding a vaccine, it will still be an extremely long time before one is found and distributed so the NBA would need to take a ton of precautions in a return.
But as more studies are being done, there becomes a better understanding of the virus and how to combat it, which is why the NBA is trying to help in any way they can.
