NBA commissioner Adam Silver said on Monday the league won't begin to consider a potential return to play until May 1 at the earliest.
"We should accept that at least for the month of April we won't be in any position to make any decisions," Silver told Turner Sports' Ernie Johnson in an interview on Twitter.
The NBA suspended play indefinitely on March 11 after Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. A slate of other players subsequently tested positive, including Pistons forward Christian Wood and two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant.
