Charlotte Hornets finally cleared by NBA, union to have group practices next month | Charlotte Observer

The NBA and players union have agreed to a plan allowing the Charlotte Hornets and the other seven teams not in the restart to practice in groups settings.

Since the NBA season was halted March 11, teams not on Disney’s campus have only been allowed individual-player workouts. The new plan has two phases: From Sept. 14 through Sept. 20, players and staff from each team will go through daily COVID-19 tests while individual workouts continue at team facilities.

From Sept. 21 through Oct. 6, teams will be cleared to hold group activities at team facilities, including skills and conditioning sessions and intrasquad scrimmages.
