Just a week ago the Knicks believed that with Tom Thibodeau about to take over as head coach the stage was set for the NBA to allow him to conduct a voluntary minicamp with his new team. But as the 22 teams in the NBA bubble continue to work in a resumption of the season the eight teams left out are now in limbo.
A league source indicated that no agreement between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association has been reached on the protocols and parameters for a return to play for the eight teams not participating in the bubble in Orlando.
