Per ESPN<\/a>, As the NBA seeks solutions to return to action during the coronavirus pandemic , teams are weighing scenarios for potential games with only essential personnel present.<\/p>\nOne NBA general manager, speaking on the condition of anonymity, pointed to the age of the team\u2019s head coach and others on the staff and said he would feel uneasy about those coaches being present for games, given the factors that place some people at a higher risk for serious issues because of the virus.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to put them in harm\u2019s way,\u201d the general manager said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on all the information that we have today, probably people over 60 with preexisting conditions can\u2019t go, for sure, no matter what their titles are,\u201d the second general manager said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a father of the star player or whether it\u2019s the general manager of the team, they can\u2019t go there.\u201d
\nThe first general manager said these issues apply to staff beyond coaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
