News, notes and observations as NBA facilities re-open …
· Several teams will open the doors to its practice facilities over the next few days, with the NBA approving a re-opening for teams in states that have relaxed stay-at-home restrictions. The league—as has been reported here before—sees the opening of facilities as an important safety measure, preferring players work out in safe and sanitized environments rather than flocking to local gyms. Not everyone is for it, with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum among those questioning the NBA’s decision. This is certainly a development but it in no way indicates the NBA is moving closer to restarting the season.
