There have been many steps in the process of restarting the 2019-20 NBA season after the league shuttered in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the NBA had to figure out if it was safe, then reopen practice facilities for solo workouts, then come up with a place and a plan for a restart and then present that plan to the NBA Players Union and the Board of Governors. After everyone signed off, 22 teams travelled to the site of the “NBA Bubble” at Walt Disney World in Orlando, after which they underwent two days of quarantine before returning to contact practices for the first time since the shutdown.
