The NBA has spared no expense in establishing health and safety protocols for the 2019-20 season restart on the Walt Disney World Campus in Orlando, Florida.
Nevertheless, the league has recently faced with another challenge in its looming return to action as the reported number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases have spiked in Florida. The health risks involved had already served as a deterrent for players contemplating making the trip, and there are now even more concerns since the state has become the hotbed for the pandemic.
Commissioner Adam Silver and National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts have acknowledged the negative impact this latest development has had on the outlook of the rest of the season.
