Each successive update on COVID-19 brings more dire news. The latest is that the NBA is looking at a mid-to-late June restart, with no fans in attendance as the best-case scenario, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
This is in response to the latest recommendation from the Center for Disease Control, which advised that gatherings of more than 50 people in the United States over the next two months are to be strictly avoided in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The NBA is looking into arena availabilities in August, but there is a realistic chance the 2019-20 season might be abandoned altogether.
