The NBA Planning to Restart in... Disney World?
The NBA's developing plan for resuming the season has been a prevalent topic for weeks now, likely since the season was suspended in the first place due to coronavirus concerns. Several meetings were set up for this purpose, between players and executives alike, and many ideas were proposed.
One factor the league will have to consider when reopening will be an appropriate return venue – an arena where NBA games can be played safely while the pandemic unfolds. During the past few days, one particular location became a highly-favored option amongst the NBA: Orlando. The NBA is reportedly engaging in “serious talks” to restart the season at Walt Disney World. This option has gained traction because it is a private property with all of the necessary facilities to host the games and accommodate for league personnel.
Las Vegas is among other cities being considered. The NBA hopes to have players in training camp by mid-June, and playing televised games by mid-July.
