LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Basketball is back. Finally.
After 141 days, the NBA will return inside of the bubble at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday night.
It feels as if the world has changed a dozen times since the night of March 11 when the league came to a sudden halt. But now the season resumes in what is a truly unique moment in basketball history.
Part of that will be because there won't be any fans in attendance. But it will also be because of the league's focus on social justice in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer more than two months ago.
