In just over a half-decade at the helm of the NBA, Commissioner Adam Silver has been presented with several significant challenges. Silver indicated during a Monday interview with ESPN that the one he and the league are currently facing sits near the top of that list of adverse situations. While acknowledging that the circumstances may not be perfectly ideal for participating teams, players, coaches and referees, Silver reiterated to host Mike Greenberg that the NBA is continuing to work toward its goal of resuming the sport this summer.
“We’re dealing with extraordinary circumstances,” Silver said of trying to return to work while battling COVID-19 concerns.
