The waiting game continues.
Except, this particular wait isn’t a game. It’s a global pandemic that has put many things on hold, including the NBA season, which has been paused since March 11.
Here’s NBC Sports Washington reporting Friday’s words of league commissioner Adam Silver:
It’s been over a month since the 2019-20 season was suspended following Rudy Gobert’s positive test for COVID-19 and commissioner Adam Silver was unable to give the update hoops fans are looking for Friday.
“As I sit here today, there’s too much unknown to set a timeline and even too much unknown to say, ‘Here are the variables,'” Silver said. “I would just say everything is on the table.”
Silver said on TNT a few weeks ago that the NBA wouldn’t be able to make a decision on the 2019-20 season before at least May 1. So don’t sound the alarms based on Silver’s uncertainty at this juncture.
The 2019-2020 regular season had been scheduled to end this past Wednesday. The playoffs had been scheduled to begin today, on Saturday.
