MEMPHIS – Should the NBA season resume next month in Orlando as proposed, all 22 teams involved in the league’s restart would share at least one thing in common.
The discomforts of being away from home.
In prioritizing health and safety protocols to combat Coronavirus concerns, all eight proposed regular-season “seeding games” and each round of the playoffs through the NBA Finals would be played at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando.
So if games proceed as planned starting in late July, the Lakers won’t have rows of courtside celebrities at Staples Center in Los Angeles to distract opponents.
