Starting Monday, the Charlotte Hornets and the seven other NBA teams not included in the Orlando restart will be allotted a two-week period for in-market organized team activities, which includes group workouts and five-on-five scrimmaging.
The general structure of this operation will feature players and coaches splitting their time between Spectrum Center and a closed-off hotel in accordance with COVID-19 protocols (similarly to how the NBA Playoffs are currently being conducted). But more important than the actual basketball component will be the ability for players and coaches to reconnect with each other away from the court on a personal and more emotional level.
