Report: NBA course of action to return taking shape, starting with plan to recall players to team markets

SALT LAKE CITY — NBA teams are gearing up to take the first real steps toward resuming the season, according to a report by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe.

Teams are expecting the league to issue guidelines around June 1 that would allow franchises to recall players who have left team markets during the season suspension, and allow them to expand workouts, which are currently on an individual and voluntary basis, to include group activities.

According to ESPN’s report, the NBA is putting together a plan to resume the 2019-20 season that would include a two-week quarantine after the recall of all players into team markets, one to two weeks of individual workouts, and a two- or three-week training camp-like period prior to games resuming.
