Commissioner Adam Silver Doesn’t Believe Single Positive Coronavirus Test Would Require 2nd NBA Shutdown

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has done an incredible job leading the return to play process amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Players and executives put their trust in him, and Silver delivered by creating the 22-team plan that will be utilized when the season resumes at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.

Of course, what sparked the NBA’s initial shut down was when Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz tested positive for the virus. Silver was quick to react, and has spent the last three months working with health officials, players and teams to get basketball back.
