The NBA has "strongly discouraged" teams from traveling to China due to the coronavirus outbreak, according to The New York Times' Marc Stein.
The league office reportedly sent a memo to all 30 teams last week to "clarify" that the coronavirus is "now considered a global health emergency," per Stein.
The coronavirus has infected more than 17,000 people across the world, leading to 361 deaths as of Monday, per the Associated Press. There are 11 reported cases in the United States.
It's been a rocky year for the NBA's relationship with China.
