NBPA executive director: Can't rule out NBA bubble in 2021

The Orlando Bubble has triumphantly worked so far.

No positive COVID-19 tests since the first week the NBA teams arrived at Walt Disney World Resort last month when two players tested positive while in quarantine.

No fans, no home-court advantage, but safety was the main priority when deciding to resume the 2019-20 season that had been on hold since March 11.

The NBA has achieved that so far, but would the league be willing to start next season in a bubble environment?

"I don't think you can discount nor will I say we have discounted the possibility of continuing this protocol for the next season," National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts in an Friday interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio.
