The NBA is considering an idea where some players would be quarantined or isolated for purposes of being able to compete against one another and provide basketball fans with some sort of diversion from the coronavirus pandemic.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver revealed that notion as one of several items under consideration by the league right now during the shutdown. Silver made the comments in a televised interview on ESPN.
Silver offered no predictions on when NBA games would resume. He said the league may, when conditions allow, resume games but without fans – a move the league was going to make last week before stoppage of games after Utah’s Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19-and prompted the league to go on what it thought would be a hiatus, not a stoppage that is certain to reach multiple weeks and likely months.
