NBA releases schedule, but Silver admits risk exists

Even as the NBA was unveiling its schedule for the conclusion of the regular season, commissioner Adam Silver admitted Friday that the league's "bubble" in central Florida can't be made totally safe from the coronavirus pandemic.

The season has been in hiatus since, but teams are set to arrive at the Disney campus for training by July 11. Silver added that Florida setting a record with around 9,000 new COVID-19 cases reported Friday is worrying. "I think we want to get down on the ground and start to see how our testing's working and how the protocols are working and then we'll make decisions as we go," Silver said.

NBPA executive director Michele Roberts said the players have been in discussions about what protests would be held and how they will be done.
