Coronavirus, G League year expected to be canceled
NBA teams operating G League franchises expect the rest of the minor league season will be canceled because of the coronavirus outbreak
NBA teams operating G League franchises expect the rest of the minor league season will be canceled because of the coronavirus outbreak, sources tell ESPN.
The NBA is likely to wait on a formal announcement on the end of the G League season, but teams are operating under a belief that they’ve played their final game this season, sources said.
Players were informed over the weekend that they would be receiving their entire base salary, according to a memo obtained by ESPN.
The G League’s continued viability for the season is complicated because of teams’ use of commercial airliners and the fact that the operations of these teams are a financial strain on NBA teams. NBA owners are bracing for significant financial losses this season.
