ESPN reporter Zach Lowe during his podcast said that nobody within the NBA is enjoying this season due to the strict protocols to arginate coronavirus.
Per REALGM, The players, coaches, staff and media who participated in the NBA’s bubble environment in Orlando have openly discussed or alluded to the mental strain it took on them, but playing outside of a bubble with protocols to contend with a global pandemic has similarly been difficult.
