The NBA and NBPA have agreed to an enhanced insurance policy for players in Orlando that would cover career-ending injuries related to either COVID-19 or conventional basketball injuries, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The potential group policy would cover players for several million dollars, reports Wojnarowski.
The plan comes after numerous players have expressed concerns over their health and safety when the NBA resumes the 2019-20 season in Orlando on July 30. The league will gather 22 teams in the "hub city" to finish the regular season before starting the playoffs.
Earlier this month, Kyrie Irving reportedly led a conference call with over 80 fellow NBA players to discuss possibly skipping the league's return in Orlando.
