In a conference call with the National Basketball Player Association on Friday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver prepared players for the potential of playing games without fans in attendance through next season, which would cost the league a projected 40 percent of its revenue. Silver also admitted the NBA “couldn’t start now even if we wanted to.”
“We’re going to have to find a way to work through this,” Silver reportedly told players. “This could turn out to be the single greatest challenge of all of our lives. Until there is a vaccine or some magical cocktail that prevents people from dying from this virus, we are going to be dealing with it, collectively.”
Silver also said that if they resume the 19-20 season, it makes the most sense to do so at one or two sites including Orlando and Las Vegas.
