LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Once the alarm goes off and they remove the crud from their eyes, most people here will instinctively grab their phone.
Checking an email or logging onto social media won't be the only reasons. With the NBA planning to resume its season at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on July 30, the league has required players, coaches, staff members and reporters to use various devices that will keep the league informed on if anyone might be infected with the coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19.
“What we really wanted to do was empower everyone to do it themselves every morning so we can integrate that,” said Tom Ryan, the NBA’s Associate Vice President of Basketball Strategy.
