The NBA announced that it could allow team facilities to reopen, as long as they follow local governmental orders.
The NBA paved the way for sports to shut down not just in America, but the world. Now, the basketball league could be a pioneer in reviving sports around the globe.
Beginning on May 1, the NBA is allowing teams to open their practice facilities to players in cities and states where local governments have eased stay-at-home orders, sources tell ESPN.A handful of states have begun relaxing restrictions for residents after the COVID-19 crisis, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, since the rate of positive cases and deaths have dwindled.
The NBA was the first major sports league in America to shut down—whether indefinitely or altogether—because of coronavirus. On March 11, the NBA announced it would shut down indefinitely after a player from the Utah Jazz tested positive for the virus. The announcement by the NBA only said that teams who have loosened restrictions in their cities and states can cooperate. It probably opens the doors for NBA teams not in those cities to temporarily relocate their training facilities to other cities that have loosened their restrictions.
