The NBA is moving closer toward a return, according to reports by both ESPN and The Athletic. The league is heavily considering using Walt Disney World in Orlando as something of a soft bubble where it can resume play without fans at a single site, and players are expected to be called back into their markets beginning on June 1.

What remains unclear is why the present situation makes any more sense for a return since the pandemic hit the United States and play was stopped.
