Coronavirus: Draymond Green doesn't expect NBA season to start back up soon

NBA commissioner Adam Silver expects the league's hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic to last at least 30 days.

Warriors forward Draymond Green expects the wait to be even longer than that -- perhaps significantly so.

Green has heard the prognostications about when the NBA season might resume, but in a recent interview with The Athletic's Marcus Thompson, the former Defensive Player of the Year intimated he doesn't expect to be back out on the court anytime soon, despite how badly he would like to be.

"The only way I think they allow the season to start back up,” Green said, "is if they come out with some stuff to say, ‘It’s not as bad as we thought,' or if they find some kind of cure.
