The NBA’s not giving up hope on completing its season.
And with pressure mounting nationwide as states and municipalities consider easing stay-at-home restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the league is seizing the opportunity to get back to work — at least on practice floors.
The NBA informed teams on Monday that it is targeting May 8 at the earliest to allow teams to open their practice facilities with the purpose to “allow for safe and controlled environments for players to train in states that allow them to do so.”
That doesn’t mean that facilities will open on that date.
