Can you imagine running the injured reserve list, and bringing AAA and AA players up for 40 games because too many of the major league guys are on quarantine? You could be watching a season where it’s common to have 25 to 15 on the box-score. Even for the umpires....where are you going to find people to fill the requirements to fill in?
IMHO what the NBA’s motive REALLY is was to knock Trump’s Keep Calm and Carry On speech out of the headlines. The fact that they announced this within MINUTES after he signed off is highly suspicious.
