I have read it somewhere that it is possible to continue this NBA season in a crowdless arena. I mean, they will play their remaining games minus the fans in the stadium.
Is this possible? What about the revenues or all other stuffs economic-wise?

Yeah there have been a lot of rumors lately regarding that possibility, and yes, there would be losses for all teams, especially those that will go into playoff, but what's the alternative? To not finish season at all and have even more losses? Then there is question of draft, next season etc..

With virus spreading throughout US rapidly, i don't think that it is reasonable to expect this season to finish in a regular way, with normal playoff in front of fans. So only way to finish it and still get some money from sponsors are games behind closed doors. Yeah it would suck big time, for the owners of the teams, players and fans, but pro sport will have to adapt to this new situation, there is no other way. After all, games without fans is something that we got used to here in Europe, albeit for different reasons.

Choose playoff teams based on current standings, put them all in one location, isolate them from others, and let the show begin! There is no much sport activity around the world anyway, so view numbers would go through the roof!

Regarding NBA pursuing a fan-less games, well it's a good plan, but I don't know if business owner are going to agree with that.

I have no idea what the NBA should do. But I know one thing, the NBA exists solely as a money-making machine. There's no point in playing games that don't generate profit.

Indeed this is a good news, both of them are able and healthy body that's why there were able to recover just like the rest.

They have a good immune system, actually even Mitchell said he can still play a series of games even when already infected with the virus, but there's a possibility that he will be infected again if he will not be careful, so there is no choice right now but just to stay at home.

However, there are new cases in the US, as they now top that category, not good for the US because most likely the NBA games are going to be suspended even further.

The number now has increased to 101,000 as I am writing, this is going worst, if this hits millions, I don't know what would happen to the US.

I agree, no need to take risk for players like Mitchell and Gobert, and even if they have recovered, we don't know the extend of the damage, if there is to their body, might be the virus is just hibernating. So he needs to be very careful and take every measures to protect himself and the people around him.

As others have said, US is now the ground zero, I do hope that we're not going to see six digit futures cases.

Corona virus can spread easily US needs to have more preventive measures in order to be able to cope up and lessen the potentials spread around them.

In a daily basis, the number of infected people have increase and the fact that US now become the number 1 in terms of number of cases, they should put everything in lock down, they have to deal with this virus properly as it's life of the people are at risk here.

What measures they really do? Why is it the number of cases has been skyrocketing?
Does the measure means its not effect?

One of the reasons this has happened because they did not impose the lockdown protocol as soon as the outbreak in China became unstoppable. now they are hit by this huge problem right at their head. because the USA is not like China, they having a hard time controlling their people especially those homeless who don't even have a home to lock themselves on. I really hope this will end soon, I really miss watching NBA games seriously.

I think is not about the homeless who doesn't have a home to lock themselves. But its about the mindset of the people. I'm thinking that Americans didn't take it seriously in the beginning, as the case of Italy that's why the virus spread very quickly and then the shortage of testing kit, major hospitals in the US are not equip with this kind of pandemic. As compare to China, who immediately lockdown the centre of the epidemic, test the whole population and close cities, that's why in months, there are new cases as oppose to US and Italy which the numbers are growing everyday.

Regarding NBA pursuing a fan-less games, well it's a good plan, but I don't know if business owner are going to agree with that.

Is this possible? What about the revenues or all other stuffs economic-wise?

Yes, it's possible but all staff and individuals must be 100% virus-free. If I'm not mistaken someone posted a plan here for a possible charity game just to continue the season. It's not about the revenues anymore since the majority of players also like to play. Fewer revenues just to continue the season.

Age defies their performance and that's what mid-players concern. As long as everyone is cleared to play, it will be possible. There is a lot of consideration before it will happen.

But in reality and looking at the current situation, it's far from happening now since the total number of confirmed cases in the USA is increasing. People there might not spend money on a pay-per-view as no matter how luxurious some people lifestyle there, they need money to battle the virus just in case of the worst-case scenario.

I hope NBA won't get cancelled and somehow we at least get to see PLAY-OFFS and same goes for every sport in my opinion but the health right now its more important than this. The issue is that the virus seems to spread more and more so I'm afraid the lock-down will be much longer than its currently been said.

NBA might actually be cancelled for good this year I am afraid, I want it back as well but it looks like it is getting more and more impossible each day.

I may have to agree with this. If not, then there will be a new arrangement to finish this season and another short cut for the next season.
That is to equal the the time spent with Covid-19 lockdown and then maybe afterwards they could start again with the normal kind of game.

However that massive land, even with all the improvements in technology, is the trouble they have right now. Building test kits in multiple locations and distributing everyday all the time constantly without stopping is hard. Hospitals needs new kits every single second, they are literally keeping people in lockdown in hospitals until kits arrive, which is taking some time considering it is quite further apart from each other.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It takes time to go from East to West and that is why it is also taking a lot of time to send the cure if ever there is one.
But there is what we call technology so I bet they can do it faster by now.

The trouble that USA has is the thing that made USA such a powerful nation to begin with in history, its the land. Normally it was a nation built upon a whole continent size country and they had so much land that was uncultured that they took over and became the biggest nation in the world thanks to it while all others were dealing with less land and less resources to go on.

However that massive land, even with all the improvements in technology, is the trouble they have right now. Building test kits in multiple locations and distributing everyday all the time constantly without stopping is hard.

I don't think that we need to worry about NBA players though, yes they can be affected as well, but there body is always healthy and could get the best medicine to help them out.

I agree with that, though America is a rich country, there are also poor people out there that needs the help of the government.
If this fight is only handled by the US, even if they are a big country, I have doubt that they can stop the spread in just a short period of time.

US might not think of asking help from its rival country, but if this situation worsen, they don't have a choice.

Right, there has been no reported cases in China, on the contrary US has overtaken Italy on the number of people getting affected by the corona virus. Yes lockdown is a good measures, but I think there should be mandatory test on everyone in the US, specially big states like New York and Los Angeles as the virus is quickly spreading in big cities.

I don't think that we need to worry about NBA players though, yes they can be affected as well, but there body is always healthy and could get the best medicine to help them out.

Some good news just came in, both Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have recovered from COVID-19.
I hope to hear the same for Smart, KD and the rest of the Net's players that got it soon.

Oh thank God.
More good news. I am loving it.
It's like they just had a cold for a week or more.
But as of now, the number of Covid-19 cases in USA is still growing at 100k+. That is not good.

They should start testing more people to prevent this from infecting more people.
It cannot go back and forth to those who are already healed.

That's right it can go that way if they won't implement proper procedure to make sure that those who are infected will not bring the virus to more people around. Corona virus can spread easily US needs to have more preventive measures in order to be able to cope up and lessen the potentials spread around them.

This is really good news but on other hand we have sad news as Numbers are increasing very quickly for victims of Corona Virus now USA going on top with peoples effected by this Virus.

Yeah, it’s great to hear that both Mitchell and Gobert have recovered and that they are doing well now. It was with Gobert's infection that the NBA suspended the league in the first place. But we still need a lot of good news before the NBA resumes its normal activities and keeps the world cheerful.
