Shams Tweet-- Sources: The NBA has sent a memo to its franchises explaining that, due to coronavirus outbreak, teams should be preparing to play games without fans in attendance and identifying “essential staff” present for these games -- should it be necessary.

Does this mean they are cancelling “Compromised Immune System Night”?

You’d have to imagine on the whole this would give the most benefit to teams with the tougher strength of schedule and more road games.

Lebron's on a roll this year, sticking up for Chinese authoritarian pressure and ethnic cleansing, now selfishly pressuring against worst-case safety precautions meant to prevent a pandemic.

fricking shite stain of a human being.

I have tickets to bring my 3 year old to her first game next Monday. I'm going to be really pissed if I can't go.

No, you are ignorant about the potential of the virus to overwhelm our health care system, such as has happened in Italy. People there said similar things about soccer games.
