NBA commissioner Adam Silver remains “pretty confident” about the league’s plan to safely resume play in Orlando later this month (July) but warns the coronavirus may force the league to shut down again.
Silver said, “We are testing daily. We haven’t put a precise number on it, but if we were to see a large number of cases and see spread in our community, that would of course be a cause to stop as well.”
When asked what constitutes a significant spread that would shut down the NBA for a second time he said he isn’t sure, and that the league will continue to work with a panel of scientists, doctors and experts.
