COVID-19 aka Coronavirus
Seems this is going to affect the NBA sooner or later. Rumors of playing games without fans and even at alternative or neutral sites.
Dallas County just sent the CDC their first two presumptive positive tests. I was thinking of going to the game Saturday afternoon, but I'm honestly not sure they will let fans in, even that soon... Thought a thread will be necessary to track how the league reacts and the teams themselves. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1...121779712?s=20 https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ue-coronavirus "NBA is discussing scenarios that include moving some games to cities that have yet to suffer outbreaks --- including opponent arenas or neutral sites." "NBA’s discussing a number of possibilities -- including eliminating fans from games or, more drastically, suspending game operations for a period of time. Decisions on those options remain complicated by fact there’s been such a limited amount of public testing for coronavirus." |

Not NBA, but NCAA announced both men's and women's NCAA Tournaments will be played in empty arenas. Wow.

Maybe this is a good year to be a low seed the playoff games might all be empty arena and playing on the road won't matter.

Utah OKC canceled over Gobert being sick. I wonder if the season is in danger of being postponed or canceled?

@JHuflerOKC: BREAKING: #Jazz C Rudy Gobert and PG Emmanuel Mudiay are being taken to Mercy Medical Center in downtown OKC to be tested for the coronavirus. This should provide reasoning as to why the #Jazz vs #Thunder game was cancelled. #COVID19 #CoronaVirusUpdat

I would say any type of gathering of thousands of people is in danger right now yes.
At best empty arena games will happen. Last edited by LukaThaDon; 03-11-2020 at 08:21 PM. |

Not basketball related obviously but Tom Hanks and his wife were in Austrailia and both have it now.

To me unless this whole thing is over in a month (which is a LONG shot) the season is over. Unless they do empty arena and decide to risk it. Maybe the playoffs will start right away.

34 players have come into contact with Rudy Gobert over the last few games. Not to mention refs ball boys who knows who else.

Earlier in the week Gobert thought he was being funny and went around and touched all the microphones and even some reporters. Might have infected some of them.

Well, if you look at China and the ongoing development in europe i think the USA is toast for several weeks. Lockdown toast. Add the incredible shitty healthcare busi...ehm system and yeah, that wont end quick....
My money is on season cancelled. Same is going to happen with the major soccer leagues |

College basketball season might have ended tonight. It's speculative for now though.

Wow. Didn't see this one coming. I really, really hope they settle on something other than cancelling the season altogether. Going straight to playoffs with empty arenas or something. This has been one of the most interesting seasons in NBA history because so many teams have/had a legit chance to win the title. It would be a horrible shame if nobody won it at all. I don't want to live the rest of my life not knowing who would win a seven game series between the Lakers and Clippers.

New York stated banned events of people larger than 500 people for 2 months. I'm pretty sure this season is probably over unless they fix all this by early May and are willing to play playoffs into August.

My sister works with someone who took their kids to the Pistons/Jazz game last Saturday. They had court side seats, met the players, and ate with the teams etc. The kids now have the virus.

This forum has quickly become a ghost town, so I'm not sure if there's a point to posting anything else like this but
CDC recommends that gatherings of 50 people or more in U.S. be canceled or postponed in next 8 weeks because of coronavirus. |

KD 1 of 4 Nets that tested positive for COVID19. He wasn't even playing games I guess just from being around the team.

Nice to know the "higher ups" can get the tests while us normals still can't. The current lack of testing will go down in history as a huge, huge dark spot in American history.

Mayor Bill de Blasio
✔ @NYCMayor We wish them a speedy recovery. But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick. https://twitter.com/cbsnews/status/1240010307323547649 … |
