NBC Sports Boston play-by-play voice Mike Gorman expects fans will soon be temporarily barred from TD Garden, as a result of the growing concern surrounding the coronavirus outbreak.
“I think we’re going to be playing games in empty arenas pretty soon,” Gorman said Tuesday morning during an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich.” “Sooner than people think.”
The NBA has already issued a memo instructing teams to prepare for such a scenario. Gorman said he spoke with someone in the league office, who indicated the possibility of finishing the season without fans in attendance is high.
