What can other players and teams do during the hiatus? NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday teams could not practice. Teams are expected to receive more guidance from the league regarding where players should go and how to stay in shape.
The Denver Nuggets decided to shut down their facility for the next three-four days and are asking everyone to self-quarantine. The Chicago Bulls also stopped basketball operations activities"for the next few days as a proactive measure to social distance."
Some players, such as Pau Gasol, expressed concern about playing in the 2016 Rio Olympics because of Zika virus. It's feasible more players will be concerned about playing if the coronavirus outbreak hasn't slowed.The league and its teams could lose hundreds of millions of dollars on top of the"less than $400 million," Silver said the league is expected to lose over the China fallout.
