I have no idea what will happen as far as the NBA goes but one possibility is the season ended last night and that is it. Sort of like the 1994 MLB season with no world series due to a players strike. There are of course a number of other scenarios. I wish everyone well but as one headline put it. NBA is in uncharted waters right now.

It is hard to believe the NBA will cancel everything.. this is HUGE dollar
ramifications.
But they have to weigh lawsuits versus $$$.

Imagine lebron james dying of the virus because NBA didnt cancel the game

“I have no idea what will happen as far as the NBA goes but one possibility is the season ended last night and that is it.”

Obviously there will come a day when this is over, but it won’t be sudden, it will be very, very, gradual, as is happening in China. The reason being is that if we manage to, miracle-of-miracles, keep 80% uninfected, the last thing that we want to do is open the floodgates to having it spring-up again.

Given that, non-essential activities involving multiple people will be the last to ‘normalize’, and the NBA certainly fits that description, along with the NFL (especially).

So, no sports this year...hopefully we can slowly bring it back starting next year, maybe.
