Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey cleared the way for professional leagues to resume operations in the state after May 15.
, jump to a playoff scenario or cancel outright and focus on next season, has issued league-wide guidelines for these voluntary workouts. Ducey’s order would make it possible for players within driving distance of Phoenix to come in for workouts, adhering NBA safety policy.
As for the WNBA, which was originally scheduled to begin play on Friday, league officials have yet to speculate on when training camps or the planned 36-game season might begin. “We are aware of the governor’s announcement,” the Phoenix Mercury said in a statement. “At this time, as we had not yet begun our training camp, many of our players are not in Arizona and therefore team facilities are not currently open to players. We will ensure the Coliseum is ready to host players when the time comes but in the meantime, we are conducting voluntary virtual meetings with players.
On Tuesday, the United Soccer League's Phoenix Rising were the first professional sports team in the state of Arizona to resume training at team facilities. Ducey's announcement did not address college or high school sports. The return of those activities is tied to the re-opening of schools and campuses, and timetables that will be made by the NCAA, college conferences and the Arizona Interscholastic Association.
