NBA News: Dr. Anthony Fauci Believes Sports Could Return In Summer Without Fans

The NBA — along with every other major sports league — wants to return as quickly as they can in a safe environment.

The entire United States has been heeding the advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases. If sports are to make a return in the near future, it will be Fauci who approves it.

The NBA and MLB have both laid out plans to return, playing games without fans in a centralized location to keep players isolated together.

There are some hiccups to this as it would require players to be tested frequently and be away from their families for a long period of time.
