NBA commissioner Adam Silver has been interviewed by USA Today on the eve of the start of a new NBA season, with the opening night set for tomorrow with the games Nets-Warriors and Lakers-Clippers.
“The forthcoming season requires a new approach. We’ll no doubt face challenges, but like people everywhere, we want to work if we can do so safely and responsibly (…) The NBA is no different than many other organizations trying to find their way through the pandemic by balancing several factors, including the potential for significant economic hardship. (…) Tens of thousands of people rely on our league and related businesses for their livelihoods. In the same way we prepared for our bubble, we’ve designed thorough health and safety protocols in consultation with public health and medical experts, the National Basketball Players Association and our teams that will allow us to return to our arenas. Many of the core principles that we relied on in Florida — daily testing, physical distancing, mask wearing and frequent hand-washing — continue to guide our efforts and the health and safety of everyone remains our top priority. (…) It will require extraordinary commitment from players, coaches and staff. But we want to get back to work – safely and responsibly”, Silver said.
