NBA commissioner Adam Silver appears to be close to figuring out a return-to-play option for the 2019-20 season.
There are still a number of obstacles to overcome, but Silver’s willingness to be flexible and commitment to the safety of the players has made for a fairly easy process. For now, it seems that the most likely scenarios involve playing the remainder of the season in a bubble.
The frontrunner for that setting is Disney World in Orlando, Fla., but other options like Las Vegas have been discussed. And while Silver and the Board of Governors are still unsure on exactly which teams will be going to the bubble, they want to ensure they keep the playoff schedule as is.
