NBA Rumors: Lakers Among California Teams Working To Convince Governor Gavin Newsom For Change To State Reopening Plan

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the NBA has been desperately trying to find ways to feasibly continue the the 2019-20 regular season and ensuing playoffs.

However, that has proven to be a difficult challenge because of the contagious nature of the virus and inability to source the necessary number of tests. Also, there is the issue of figuring out enough preparation time for players to get back into game shape.

California has done a better job in recent weeks flattening the curve and limiting the amount of positive cases, but is still not in a position to begin opening up all businesses and workplaces.
