ORLANDO — On Tuesday evening, the Utah Jazz stepped off their plane and onto a pair of Disney Cruise Line buses decorated with familiar cartoon characters pointing the team toward an entirely unfamiliar situation.
The NBA’s plan to restart this season inside the confines of the Disney World Resort and the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is unprecedented, to be sure. And after Jazz general manager Justin Zanik fielded some questions from his players (“Some of the guys were asking where their Mickey Mouse ears were.”), he and Jazz executive Dennis Lindsey spent part of Wednesday answering questions about what exactly they expect when their team takes the court after a four-month layoff.
