As the NBA was working through setting its guidelines and protocols, it was reported some coaches would potentially be prevented from participating in the season restart at Walt Disney World because of health concerns.
However, the National Basketball Coaches Association worked with the league to address those concerns. The NBA backed off its stance that age could lead to a coach being ruled out from heading to Orlando, Florida, at the end of the month.
Nevertheless, coaches and staff personnel are undergoing regular testing, just as players are. There has been growing concern about the spike in the number of confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, especially in the area surrounding the bubble.
