NBA Bubble Gives New Life to Local Restaurants During Pandemic

At around 5 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 7, Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson was thinking about dinner plans for himself and some of his teammates. So the sharp-shooting guard sent a text message to Joshua Johnson, the 31-year-old owner of Seana’s Caribbean Soul Food, a local Orlando restaurant. “Any chance you guys are delivering tonight?” Robinson asked.

Johnson responded saying that they were, but that because their food is cooked fresh, they needed at least 30 minutes of runway to prepare a proper order. Around a half-hour later, Robinson followed-up. “Sorry about that!!! Just wanted to make sure I got everybody’s order right,” the Heat guard said.
