Pretty depressing hearing from Adam Silver today that he has no idea when they might start up again, if they do. Some "insiders are now predicting early to late June. A lot longer than I had certainly hoped for. Side not, Adam Silver is an awesome Commissioner. He makes others in his role look pretty awful ( MLB, NFL etc ).

With how situation is going on at the moment in the United States and how virus is spreading, NBA cancelling the season slowly becomes reality and we might start to seriously consider it. I was until recently optimistic in that regard and believed it will be continued soon, but it seems like situation is far more serious than we thought few weeks ago, and in most countries it is only getting worse.

I don't think it is realistic for NBA to continue in let's say 2 months unless some miracle happens, and even playing without fans is risky enough. It will be a shame though if it ends cancelled as this season was supposed to be one of the best and most exciting one in quite some time.

I read the article you shared, but why is the Lakers organization does not name the 2 Lakers players who are positive with COVID-19?

If I have to understand fully the tweet related to that, I think Los Angeles Lakers will give an official statement after testing all of their players, a complete report output of their testing.

Anyhow, all players are isolated and quarantined so not mentioning the names of those 2, for now, will not contribute to the spread (after test).

So the additional cases are:
1 from Celtics (player)
1 from Nuggets (not mentioned if staff or player)
3 from Sixers (staffs)

All persons involved are currently asymptomatic.

Now, this explains better.
I have a strong feeling that 1 superstar from the Lakers has been tested positive. Thus making the announcement of the names go out to the public on the latter when everyone has the result. That's very frustrating, the virus are destroying the league.
How about the other leagues/athletes?
Baseball, football, and etc? Do they have the same or close number of people as the NBA that has been tested positive?

Yes, there might be also in American Football since it is also a physical game with a lot of contact.
But this ain't the right thread for us to talk about it. Sorry. Grin

It may not be actually be a problem for the players but more of their staff specially the old ones.
Coaches and assistants on the sideline which we all know are like 40+ years old.
Those bracket of age are the most affected seriously with this virus and mostly end up dead which is the sad part of all.

I’ve not heard of many. I think it was the Yankees farm system whom had a guy test positive, I know the Saints head coach Sean Payton also has tested positive..not heard of much else though, personally.

but I don't know if they are conducting this kind of test and tracing for the people who interacted with the confirmed cases.

NBA is a big organization, taking care of its players and sensitive to the Covid 19 issue.

Any kind of test is surely done from players, staff and each team's organization. That's why they detect all positive cases in the league.

But there is a question that's still a question to them until now, who started this? Where and when did Gobert get the virus? Is it really Gobert the source of infection in the whole league or he is also got infected by other players and it just happened that he's the one showed early symptoms?

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio criticizes "wealthy" NBA teams for coronavirus tests

"We wish them a speedy recovery," de Blasio tweeted shortly after the Nets' announcement. "But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick."

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-city-mayor-bill-de-blasio-criticizes-nba-teams-access-to-covid-19-tests-four-brooklyn-nets-coronavirus/

Why shouldn't they?

If they have all the means to get tested and it's from their fund and money, why they don't deserve it? I know that there's a need for other ill patients but it's just for testing.

How about to those who interact with players that have this virus, aren't they exposed and possible to also to carry this disease. I agree with you
as even they are healthy but they also need this test to make sure that they are not carrying this virus.

They are.

There's no excuse, there should be a public tracing who are these people but I don't know if they are conducting this kind of test and tracing for the people who interacted with the confirmed cases.

Knowing who Trump is, I do not doubt that this had some kind of voting or popularity thing. His base is basically the racist, redneck type of people and they are basically getting out to vote when you tell them Mexicans are rapists, when you tell them europeans are snob, when you tell them "chinese virus", when you tell them "welfare is blacks getting free money for not working because they are lazy" or stuff like that. I don't know if Trump himself is actually as racists as he lets out to be, because that dude would LOVE mexicans and blacks if he could get their vote somehow or loved by them, look at Kanye for example, dude just does and thinks whatever makes him more loved, and he is loved by the racists so he acts racists, like I said if he could get insane amount of love from progressive leftist policies and get super amount of popularity from it, dude would basically be the new bernie sanders, his character is whatever makes him more loved.

That's another addition and hopefully that will stop from their but we can't also discount the possibility that their immediate families might be infected as well. I read the article you shared, but why is the Lakers organization does not name the 2 Lakers players who are positive with COVID-19?

That might be the franchise or players own decisions, we do hope that whoever that might be those people who are within their reach will be also
undergo with testing the possibilities of being infected of this spreading virus.
This is really hard in terms of sorting everyone who are in touch of this two players.

All we know right now is Javale Mcgee who tested negative and that must be a big relief for him. I doubt it is Lebron but with this secrecy that who has corona and who doesn't I am not entirely sure if this is safe for them or good PR. I mean who would want to be known as the NBA player who has corona?

Nobody would want that, so they are probably in hiding at their home and in isolation already, there is nothing else they can do about this and they must be feeling upset about the chances of infecting others anyway, when you name them you change nothing but just hurt their name with associating it with corona. I know nobody should be thinking about PR right now in a situation like this but if the players are doing everything they can about this, there is no reason they can't hide their name as well.

Yeah, I have heard about that. It seems like they took care of what they have started but only in their country.
If this continue then it is good.
I suppose they will be aiding countries afterwards. I just hope so.

More NBA players are getting the virus, the good thing is not the whole team is being infected by it.
You can prove there is no chemistry yet. Cheesy

Just kidding.
I really miss NBA now.

Do we have any updates on the two Laker players who test positive for the covid-19?
I didn't find any from the internet. I think they're now hiding names or is it just the Lakers management?

I think so, they have no intention of telling us the names of those who are infected, otherwise, they would have already announce it, I don't know what's the reason while other teams are publicly informing us about their players who are positive with Covid-19.

Quote from: Oasisman on March 20, 2020, 08:10:40 AM

On the worst side of the NBA right now is, there seem to have multiple staff that has been tested positive as well, and I guess the number of players that will come out positive will eventually rise after all of them are done testing.
Doe's Adam Silver continue his plan on implementing an ASG like exhibition game amidst the corona virus crisis?

It's not final yet, let's wait for the final announcement, but the way its happening right now, I doubt he will be able to realize that plan.

Not a surprising thing if those words come out on Trumps mouth. Is it something new?
Intentional or not, this shouldnt really put too much attention.

Quote from: Russlenat on March 20, 2020, 02:20:11 AM

How would this season would resume when more and more of the players are infected with the virus.
I think the organization despite being optimistic are just fighting on a slim chance here to resume the season.

Im not already expecting that the season would resume as early as possible.Situation becomes worst as day goes by
which it can been seen on numbers growing for those players who test positive with this virus.
Its a stressing thing for those people who are hoping for the season to be resumed.

NBA claps back at NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio for attacking Nets getting coronavirus tests

“Using the test results, we were able to take immediate precautions and strictly isolate the players who tested positive,” the statement continued. “If we had waited for players to exhibit symptoms, they might have continued to pose a risk to their family, friends and the public. Our hope is that by drawing attention to the critical need for testing asymptomatic positive carriers, we can begin to contain the spread and save lives.”

Yeah, that is what I am saying.
What if they got into a lot of sick people during their visits for them.
Somehow this could be traced when found out they have the virus and then ask them for the history into where they went.

All I am saying is, everyone should be equal in this part.
The virus is not like a simple cold, it is easily passed on.
I know what this Mayor is trying to imply. It is because the players are healthy and the virus will just die in them.
But that is not the point here.
