During the weekend, reports leaked out the NBA was planning to allow teams to open their practice facilities this week if local stay-at-home orders were lifted. It was a small sign the league was beginning to open up and return to work, although not a firm statement of when the league would return.
There were obviously still a lot of details to iron out. Not every team would be able to open themselves up as different states and cities create their own guidelines. And even with many states setting their stay-at-home orders to expire at the end of the month — including Florida — there was no indication whether they would extend those or let them lapse.
