Alex Martins, Jeff Weltman and Steve Clifford met with the media on Thursday morning to discuss the concerns regarding the team and the COVID-19 outbreak that has suspended the NBA season.
“As we’ve said from the very beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, our top priority is the health and safety of our players, our fans, our staff, our sponsors, anyone that this organization comes in contact with,” Martins, the Magic CEO, told reporters. “I would also say that our league has incredible leadership in our commissioner, in our owners, and we certainly believe that the actions taken last night were the appropriate ones to suspend the season and to make sure that we take that health of our players and our fans and our staff into account.
