The NBA is scheduled to relaunch its season in Orlando next month, with 22 teams tentatively set to travel to the state beginning on July 7. But as Florida nears 150,000 confirmed coronavirus cases, NBA commissioner Adam Silver told TIME that completing the season isn't a guarantee.
“[It’s] never ‘full steam no matter what,'” Silver told TIME. “One thing we’re learning about this virus is that much is unpredictable.”
Last week, the NBA announced that 16 of its players had tested positive for coronavirus, though Silver said none were seriously ill.
