Players, fans and executives around the league are clinging to the little optimism that remains, hoping that the 2019-20 NBA season resumes. They don’t want to see the same outcome that saw the remainder of the 2019-20 G-League season get cancelled. It was a bitter ending for the Salt Lake City Stars, the G-League affiliate of the Utah Jazz.
The Stars, led mostly by Utah’s trio of second round picks in last summers NBA Draft, ended play with a 30-12 record, good for first in the Western Conference. They looked like a team that could go all the way and win a championship.
