Teams will soon be departing for the NBA’s return to play bubble in Orlando, and it will reportedly be a costly venture for the league. According to ESPN, the three-month stay by the league at the Walt Disney World Resort will cost more than 150-million dollars. The league is putting up 22 teams along with support staff across three resorts inside the bubble. Meals, security, medical and coronavirus testing is also being provided for more than 15-hundred people.
Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard is questioning whether NBA players will strictly follow the league’s bubble rules for the season restart in Orlando. He says the bubble environment reduces their risk, but he’s not confident everyone on all 22 teams will comply. Players start arriving in Florida Tuesday.
