Speaking with the New York Times, NBPA director Michele Roberts commented on what she currently expects the next NBA season to look like amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“I do think we’ll have a season, but I don’t think it will begin in December,” said Roberts. “Some bubblelike environment may be necessary. I suspect that we will have a hybrid environment, maybe with division bubbles that last for a certain number of months, and then we stop. But the concept of putting our players in a bubble for an entire season is unrealistic. There will be a revenue drop. I do see a possibility of there being some reopening of some arenas. But if we’re lucky we will see 25 percent of the revenue that ordinarily comes through gate receipts, etc. That’s optimistic. Hopefully we can soften the blow, but I don’t see us packing arenas”, Roberts said.
