While all the world is fighting against the coronavirus, basketball experts and the NBA key personnel continue looking for a way out of this situation. New information on the possible continuation of the season has appeared recently. And we have to admit that it is very controversial.
For example, Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks owner thinks that the National Basketball Association will be able to continue the season and have the first games in mid-May.
“I hope that by mid-May we will begin to bounce back, and the NBA will be in play. Well, probably without spectators, but we will play because the sport is a very important part of everyday life. People want to cheer for the teams, come together, and enjoy their time. They need something which inspires. Based on what I have heard from the staff at the CDC and other organizations, I would say that this will happen approximately on June 1st,” the Bleacher Report magazine quotes Mark Cuban by reference to the WFAA.
A well-known journalist, Eric Pincus, advised the NBA to have the final stage of the season, which is currently interrupted due to the coronavirus epidemic. He believes that organizing all the games in one city would help solve many problems. Eric suggested Las Vegas would be a good place.
Pincus writes on his Twitter account that Las Vegas has enough opportunities to play games, as well as hotels to accommodate all the basketball players. He believes that the main advantage of placing the teams, referees and other employees in one place would greatly simplify the task of monitoring their health.
“The NBA executive team, in turn, considers the 2019-2020 season playoffs deadline no later than Labor Day, September 7th. However, the series may be finished after this day, since neither the league players nor the team leaders or the NBA commissioner Adam Silver want to cancel the current season,” reports Adrian Wojnarowski, an ESPN journalist.
