Chicago could be the ‘bubble’ for the eight teams left out of restart

Arturas Karnisovas was counting on the NBA to do the right thing and throw the eight teams left out of the Orlando restart “bubble’’ some sort of lifeline.

That may have finally come on Thursday.

ESPN is reporting that the league was set to sign off on a second “bubble’’ in Chicago for the eight franchises left back home, and a league source confirmed that to be the case.

“I’m confident because I think eight teams is a huge part of our league, and I think the league’s interest is to support those teams as well as they can,’’ Karnisovas said back in early June.
