Adam Silver and the rest of the NBA office were put in an almost impossible situation when the coronavirus was declared a pandemic.
The league was prepared to play games without fans in arenas, but quickly pivoted to suspending the rest of the 2019-20 NBA season after Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus.
Several initial measures were put into place to prevent further spread of the virus like players being tested and banning all team practices for the foreseeable future. However, as the situation evolves, it is clear that more steps will be taken to help combat the spread of the virus.
