SALT LAKE CITY — On Tuesday the league informed teams that it is targeting a date, no earlier than May 8, to begin modifying guidance on use of team practice facilities but noted that the target date could be pushed back.
During the hiatus, following the suspension of the season, team facilities have been closed to all athletes and personnel. As some states are beginning to ease restrictions on nonessential businesses, the league is hoping to give players a place where they can safely work out with strict limitations.
“The potential rules changes would allow teams to make their practice facilities available for use by the team’s players for workouts or treatment on a voluntary, individual basis if the team’s facility is in a city that is no longer subject to a government restriction,” read a press release from the NBA.
