The NBA is coming back. Sort of. And maybe.
On Monday, the league issued a statement indicating that it has informed teams of a pending and partial resumption of activities. The league is considering new guidelines that would take effect as early as Friday, May 8. Most importantly, the guidelines would allow up to four players into a team’s facility at any one time.
The NBA makes clear that the framework for what it terms “limited, individual workouts” would be extremely limited in scope. For one, neither head coaches nor assistant coaches could participate. For another, practices and scrimmages would remain barred.
