NBA Rumors: Players, Team & League Officials Growing Concerned With Walt Disney World Bubble Due To Florida Spike In Coronavirus Cases

As the NBA was mulling various scenarios to stage the return of the 2019-20 season, consideration reportedly was given to a bubble location and using multiple cities. Las Vegas pitched the idea of hosting not only the NBA’s return, but WNBA season as well, at its MGM properties.

But by that point all signs were pointing to NBA commissioner Adam Silver deciding on the Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, for the return to play. That became official when the league’s board of governors and NBPA both voted to approve a 22-team plan.

The NBA has outlined to players how it intends to establish a campus environment complete with vast amenities and various restrictions in effort to keep players as safe as possible.
