There is growing optimism regarding a potential return to the 2019-20 NBA season after it was suspended in early March due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The league has made efforts to discuss potential scenarios for finishing out the season, such as finalizing a location and ushering in new safety protocols. There is also the matter of providing enough time for the players to get back into game shape with another training camp.
Some teams have been cleared to re-open their practice facilities under newfound restrictions in order to ensure player safety. It appears they are now waiting for the NBA front office to give the go-ahead for a full-scale return by June 1.
