NBA teams will be allowed to open their facilities beginning May 1 — but only if they’re in a state with relaxed or no stay-at-home orders and only for individual workouts.
The move, which NBA teams were made aware of Saturday, isn’t a move to restart the season as much as it is a reaction to an increasing number of states easing restrictions, The Times has confirmed.
Georgia’s restrictions have been lifted on fitness centers and gyms this week, and Oklahoma is scheduled to do the same next week. Texas could also soon open some gyms.
