LeBron James still thinks it wouldn't be great to play games without fans in attendance, but he would understand if the NBA made the decision due to the coronavirus outbreak.
While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, James cleared the air regarding his recent comments about not wanting to play in an empty arena.
"When I was asked the question...I had no idea there was a conversation going on behind closed doors about the particular virus," James said. "I would be very disappointed because that's [who] I play for."
Last Friday, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported the NBA sent a memo to teams explaining they should prepare to possibly play games without fans in attendance as a result of the virus outbreak.
