This seems pretty ambitious if you ask me, but the NBA is running out of time to fit the season in. Obviously the safety of all the players and personnel is paramount. NBA practice facilities are set to re-open on May 8 with a handful of teams getting back to individual workouts. Only six assistants and personnel are allowed in the facility at a time and no more than four people per session. So that’s pretty restrictive.
