MEMPHIS – More than two months into its hiatus, the NBA forges ahead with hopes to resume the 2019-20 season as the sports world works its way back from the Coronavirus pandemic.
League officials confirmed negotiations are ongoing with Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando to serve as a single site for a potential resumption of play in July. The Grizzlies and the NBA’s 29 other teams have been idle since play was suspended March 11 amid global safety concerns.
At the time, the Grizzlies had 17 regular-season games remaining and were positioned to make the playoffs for the first time in three years as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
