I’m still at a loss for words for this whole situation, and it really does seem like the players in the NBA had no idea this was coming.
We already knew fans would be restricted because of the coronavirus, but I’m not sure anybody saw the league just entirely shutting down.
Hopefully, this coronavirus situation gets figured out sooner than later because nobody finds this enjoyable. Be safe, folks!
