The upcoming NBA Draft will be a test for the Sixers

The inevitable NBA shutdown has happened. Without a doubt, everyone has felt the weight of the entire league putting itself on pause in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Games aren’t being played, and frankly, news around the league has been slow. It’s been more than a week since the NBA suspended play (I know, it has felt WAY longer than that), and it seems like right now things won’t pick up in the sports world for a long time.

Honestly, they probably won’t. This situation not only has an effect on the present season, but beyond it. We’ve seen recently that the NFL will still hold their upcoming draft in some manner that will be closed to the public.
