BOSTON – News, notes and observations while we wait for the NBA’s coaching carousel to kick into high gear:
• NBA, do we have a problem? ESPN reported this week that dozens of players were considering not hunkering down in Orlando for a resumed season. On a Ringer podcast, Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon said he had talked to a few who were “super interested in [possibly] sitting out.” The minimum time a team will spend in the Disney bubble will be 35-40 days, an official with knowledge of the league’s tentative timeline told SI.com, and the NBA has still not offered any clarity on who would be allowed in the bubble with players and specific rules on quarantining.
