The NBA gave teams a 113-page plan for the resumption of the season this week, detailing every safety protocol and the most cautious measures. They combined the science that is known and even included futuristic ring bands to help protect the players.
And after all of that carefully plotted strategy for life in the bubblelike environment at Disney World in Orlando, one of the last bits of information was the admission that if this doesn't go right, there is the possibility that it will be shut down again.
The season, which has been on hold since March 11 because of COVID-19, is scheduled to resume with games on July 30. Teams are set to report to training camp at their home facilities this week and then travel to Orlando in mid-July.
