Last week, the NBA made official what had been rumored for a while — that it was seeking a way to resume its postponed season on the grounds of Disney World in Orlando.
The league announced it was entering talks with Disney World to make that a “bubble” site so it can salvage what’s left of a season that stopped when Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus on March 11.
Except as word begins to leak out on what the NBA’s return will look like, the chance is growing that when play resumes it may be without the Timberwolves and other teams languishing near the bottom of the standings.
