"The NBA is a game of adaption & change" on & off the floor

“The NBA is a game of adaptation and change, “ Magic head coach Steve Clifford has said, and it’s true on and off the floor more than ever due to the pandemic. The league and the player’s association released additions to its health and safety protocols today due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the US and the increase within the NBA. The tightening now looks to create in-market bubbles to mitigate the virus. While it’s impossible to replicate the success of the Orlando bubble, once again the league -- players, teams, governors, and all constituencies are not being stagnant. Health and safety for all are paramount, and the NBA, as it did before won’t hesitate to take a pause -- but if the season has to be interrupted it won’t be because the league didn’t follow Clifford’s mantra of “adaptation and change.”
