The world’s most popular basketball league resumes action this week. It will be a season like no other with players locked down in Disney World
In order to keep players and staff insulated from the Covid-19 pandemic, the league will resume operations at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Disney World, Florida when the season restarts on Thursday. The NBA sees the venue as ideal as it has a number of courts to host games and practices as well as hotels and restaurants to keep the players housed and fed, and leisure facilities to keep them entertained. Keeping the players in one place means they can avoid the cross-country travel that is usually a part of the season, and has already caused problems for baseball when MLB started last week.
