NBA commissioner Adam Silver spoke with Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated on how things have gone to date within the NBA campus in the Orlando bubble.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s going better than what we had envisioned,” Silver said of the NBA’s restart. “Players have taken to it in a more spirited way than we thought they would. We knew that this would require enormous sacrifice on everyone\u2019s part, but I think that what is hard to calibrate is the human emotion that comes with being around other people. And I think everyone realized they missed it more than they even understood. There are players either whose teams are not participating, who were unable to engage this summer because of injuries or other issues, who, once they spoke to fellow NBA players, have asked to join the experience down in Orlando. I think that it\u2019s the togetherness, the camaraderie, the brotherhood of the players. That\u2019s been the case for the coaches, the team staff and management as well. To take those masks off and bang into each other, whether it\u2019s someone on your team or an opponent, it\u2019s just a human craving we have for contact with other people.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
