It looks like the NBA still is moving forward with its plans to return at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., despite the current spike in new cases of COVID-19 in Florida and among professional athletes.
And according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, instead of limiting the number of players and personnel temporarily, the league is increasing it.
“NBA will allow up to 10 coaches in facilities starting Tuesday as players return for ramp-up, league tells teams in a memo,” Wojnarowski reported Saturday.
“Teams can have four players June 23-30 at facility; 8 players in facility July 1-9. From there, teams will leave for Orlando and full training camps.”

This news comes as the NFL Players Association has asked players to refrain from private workouts with each other, and the same day MLB teams reportedly are deciding to stay at their own ballparks for spring training due to increasing COVID-19 concerns in Florida.
Hopefully, the virus doesn’t make its way to the Disney bubble.
