NBPA Executive Director Michele Roberts Believes NBA May Need Bubble For 2020-21 Season

The NBA led the way for professional sports resuming by putting together a detailed plan that called for teams to essentially quarantine in a bubble on the Walt Disney World campus in Orlando, Florida.

The NBA and NBPA worked closely together in order to hash out not only a plan to finish out the 2019-20 season, but also early groundwork for the offseason and a 2020-21 campaign. Of course, details still need to be finalized, including a start date and the salary cap.

Considering how challenging the bubble was, it was considered short-term plan that would only last for a few months.
