The NBA’s Disney Bubble Sounds Like the Strangest Summer Camp Ever

The NBA’s plan to resume the season in Orlando sounds a lot like sending the players to basketball camp—except they could be there for a long time.

The league sent a memo Tuesday night to teams and players outlining the plans for the Disney campus environment. Teams will stay at one of three hotels and won’t be allowed to leave the resort except on team-sponsored excursions or under pre-approved circumstances.

The health and safety manual distributed to players clocks in at a whopping 113 pages. That’s a lot of rules! It lays out procedures for coronavirus testing, plans for if and when someone on campus tests positive and all the measures designed to decrease the risk of transmission inside the hotels.
