NBA rumors: 'Doomsday provision' for players included in NBPA memo

The NBA -- like the rest of the world -- is in the midst of an unprecedented situation.

The season has been suspended for at least the next 30 days in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Will the players continue to get paid, or can the owners withhold paychecks?

The National Basketball Players Association issued a memo Friday morning outlining a possible "doomsday provision," in the collective bargaining agreement, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

As Woj's story states:

The CBA includes a clause called the force majeure event clause that includes multiple dramatic scenarios -- including epidemics -- that the league could trigger in the event of a worst-case scenario.
