NBA teams are expecting the league office will issue guidelines around June 1
that will allow franchises to start recalling players who've left their
markets as a first step toward a formal ramp-up for the season's resumption,
sources told ESPN.
Teams expect a similar timeline on the league allowing them to expand group
workouts that are already underway with in-market players, sources said.
The NBA is discussing a step-by-step plan for a resumption of the 2019-20
season that includes an initial two-week recall of players into team
marketplaces for a period of quarantine, one to two weeks of individual
workouts at team facilities and a two- to three-week formal training camp,
sources told ESPN.
Barring an unforeseen turn of events, many NBA owners, executives and
National Basketball Players Association elders believe commissioner Adam
Silver will greenlight the return to play in June
