Now that the NBA has officially settled on a return-to-play plan for the 2019-20 regular season and playoffs, the league has shifted gears toward establishing safety protocols for players and team personnel upon reporting to the Orlando bubble.
Ever since the 2019-20 NBA season was shut down in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic back in March, the league was optimistic about being able to finish out the year with the support of its players. The result is a finalized plan to resume the season in a bubble environment at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on the Walt Disney World campus in Orlando, Fla.
