Dion Waiters found out about the NBA season getting suspended at the same time as everybody else watching the nationally televised game between the Nuggets and Mavericks on March 11. The Lakers guard was watching the battle between Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic when the decision came down.
“People start sending stuff, it got crazy,” Waiters told Sports Illustrated. “At that time, [the Lakers] were still trying to get all the information. Everybody found out at the same time.”
Waiters remained in Los Angeles to work out after the suspension, though those activities were soon banned.
