Steve Clifford: Magic will need time to get back in shape before NBA resumes play

When the NBA season resumes is anybody’s guess as the league — as well as other professional sports — continues to navigate the coronavirus pandemic.

Looking beyond the first step of reopening facilities, it will take more than individual workouts for players to get back in game shape.
