As the country grapples with coronavirus and how to best combat the spread of the disease, athletic teams and organizations are asking themselves that same question.
The Hawks are no different, and have had several team discussions about how players and staff can limit exposure and stay safe, including curtailing physical interactions in public and with fans at games. Team doctors and trainers from around the league had a meeting about this issue Monday night, and team owners, including Hawks owner Tony Ressler, will have a meeting about it Wednesday, Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce said.
“One of my favorite quotes is prevention is better than cure… And I think the league’s whole stance is about prevention,” Pierce said Tuesday.
