NBA tells coaches age alone won't prevent trip

The NBA office has assured the league's coaches association that "age alone" will not be enough to prevent a coach from going to Disney World for the restart of the season.

Individuals at high-risk for serious coronavirus complications will not go, but simply being older, without other risks, won't put someone in that category.

"Everybody goes through a screening process, but we've been assured by the league that no one will be red-flagged from going to Orlando based on age alone," said Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, the president of the National Basketball Coaches Association.
