Many NBA general managers and athletic trainers anticipate that teams will need at least a one-month period for players to acclimate prior to a potential resumption of the season, according to ESPN's Baxter Holmes.
As the NBA season's suspension continues due to the coronavirus pandemic, team officials reportedly believe that one month of preparation time is needed for players to get back into game shape and avoid potential injuries when games resume. Several team athletic trainers fear that the NBA may rush a return to the season once training facilities are clear to again open, per Holmes.
