The NBA Player’s Association is working on a parallel path, both with themselves and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, but they have all of the details that they need to make a proper decision on whether they will go to the Disney World campus or stay home and decide not to finish the 2019-20 season.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported the full details of an NBPA memo sent to players that details what life will be like in quarantine on the Disney campus and the workout regimen that will be allowed. Most teams are going to meet at their home markets, save for the Toronto Raptors, who will go straight to Florida at some time next week. And among the details, there are a few scrimmages scheduled between teams staying at the same hotels. According to Charania, those scrimmages will be against fellow top squads staying at the same hotel.
The Lakers will be in a hotel with the other top eight teams in the league, of which they will have three scrimmages against. So while the Lakers will also have eight seeding games, they will get to play competitive hoops against someone other than their own teammates prior to getting on the court for real.
