Report: NBA, NBPA Forming Working Group to Discuss Strategies for Possible Return

The NBA and NBPA are forming a working group and will discuss strategies for the season's possible resumption on a phone call Tuesday, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The working group will include NBPA president Chris Paul and players Russell Westbrook, Jayson Tatum, Kyle Lowry and Dwight Powell, reports Charania.

The NBA has yet to reach a decision on whether to finish the season and has floated a number of possible contingency plans. The league has been suspended since March 11 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday, commissioner Adam Silver took part in a league-wide call with the NBPA and reportedly told players that games are expected to be played without fans if the season resumes.
