The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Portland Trail Blazers were the only NBA teams to unlock their practice facilities on Friday, after the league office confirmed to teams earlier this week that they could open facilities for at most four players at any time, but only in states where shelter-in-place restrictions had been eased, such as Florida, Georgia and Texas.
Cleveland has held an individual 90 minutes practice with Larry Nance, Kevin Love, Cedi Osman and Ante Zizic. “It was wonderful, more for mental health than physical, to be honest with you”, Nance said to the New York Times.
“Was it weird? Yeah. I had [Cavs assistant coach] Dan Geriot at my basket and having him rebound and pass me the ball with a mask and gloves on. It’s just odd. It’s just weird, I played 25-ish years of organized basketball and this is the longest I’ve ever gone without touching a ball” Kevin Love said to ESPN.
