As the NBA gets further removed from the start of its hiatus amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, there are some encouraging signs with respect to resuming the 2019-20 regular season.
Since the league shut down all operations on March 11, there was very little in terms of tangible information that would lead fans to believe the NBA season would return. However, that all changed recently, as the NBA, NBPA, and team officials have been engaged in legitimate discussions about returning to the court.
These discussions involved asking players whether or not they even wanted a return, figuring out how to isolate players without having them feel trapped in a hotel room, and compiling significant testing to be able to constantly ensure the players’ health.
