Mark Cuban Does Not Expect NBA Season to be Canceled

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he doesn't expect the current NBA season to be canceled despite the league indefinitely suspending it due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Cuban joined ESPN's GetUp on Thursday morning to address the league's decision. He said he anticipates basketball could take a break for up to 60 days.

"When you have something that's so unique, you have to really just be agile and pay attention because we've never been here before," he said.

Cuban suggested games could go into mid-August after the season resumes. He said the league might play the last seven to 10 games of the regular season to get players warmed up and then go into the playoffs.
