The NBA is moving forward with its long-awaited, 22-team season restart in Orlando. But the eight squads excluded from the action are not going quietly into that good offseason.
In addition to the Disney campus, the league is considering a second bubble — and in Chicago, no less — for those eight teams that missed the Orlando cut: the Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors and, of course, the Bulls.
What would the second bubble entail? It’s not exactly clear yet, but presumably, some activity plan consisting of training camps and scrimmages would be the goal.
