The NBA has taken their first steps for how the league will initially address the coronavirus by limiting access to players. The OKC Thunder and every team will meet in a separate area for media interviews — think playoff podiums or preseason pressers. Access to the locker rooms will be limited to players, coaches and essential staff.
Even access following practice sessions will occur at these stations. The first of which occurred yesterday (Tuesday, March 10th) following the OKC Thunder practice. Players were also advised not to sign autographs or interact physically with fans. These are all initial steps being taken to err on the side of safety.
