Report: NBA will allow teams to open practice facilities on May 1 amid coronavirus pandemic

The NBA will reportedly allow teams to open their practice facilities again starting on May 1, more than six weeks after it suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Teams will only be allowed to re-open those facilities, however, if their respective local governments have eased stay-at-home orders, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Sources: Teams will be allowed to make facilities open to players on a voluntary basis for individual work, but larger group workouts will still be prohibited. In NBA markets that aren't loosening restrictions, league plans to work w/ teams on other arrangements for players.
