Adam Silver Admits New COVID Wave Could Kill NBA Reboot

And, with concern growing, Silver addressed the issues Tuesday during an appearance on 'TIME 100 Talks' ... saying he's still"pretty confident" the season will happen, but nothing is certain.

"We are testing daily," Silver continued ..."We haven't put a precise number on it, but if we were to see a large number of cases and see spread in our community, that would, of course, be a cause to stop as well." Still, Silver believes the bubble environment at Walt Disney World in Orlando will still be relatively safe.

Covid-19 please cancel

We can only hope and pray

Then cancel the season and call Bettman and give him your thoughts,,,

I’m loving all the respondents having the same resolve. Who gives a shit and move to china!

Won't hurt my feeling...sports have become too political.

China are determined to cancel NBL, hey

Shut em down!

Shut them all down this summer, hopefully we can get football!

MAGA UNITE! My goal for this poor man is $1 million. I got it started with $500.00. I want a million trump supporters to donate $1.00. Let’s show the MSM/Dems we love all and destroy their hate filled narrative . MAGA RETWEET r/t

We're on the verge of Zombie Apocalypse and he's worried about playing basketball.

Then why have the bubble if you expect people working there can’t be safe enough? you’re setting a preadolescent that America hot spots are basically like lepror colonies. Lands beyond hope that are left to rot. Good luck bringing it back in Dec. if you do that.

Adam Silver himself will have killed the NBA reboot. NBA: No Basketball Attendance.

😭

damn! I was looking forward to seeing the rockets celebrate a championship

Yea right... he heard the people say they would watch the shit after the painting on the court and changes to jerseys...

Yeah!!!!

As a UFC fan the ufc is doing a good super good job the nba and other leagues should be fine if everyone is on board

Know when the death of the NBA began, Mr. Silver? When FreeHongKong was unmentionable. Pity, isn't it, that after bending over backwards for China and Communist Party that the coronavirus that originated there would harm what was once a Golden Goose?

Duhhhhh and all the other American sports as well besides

Guess they can wear their little social justice jerseys at home.

who cares lmfao they should just start the season fuck do i care that the virus will kill steve from new jersey lebrons 4th ring is more important than the lives virus is taking

Wtf

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

BAD REPORTING

ITS OVA JOHNNY.

🥴

No shit bruh

Nah shit

good they can join the rest of america suffering effects of virus....

Good! NBA is a dumpster fire

Reality is slowing sinking in to the NBA...

Then you wanna play ball in Florida that state has the most covid cases outside of Texas then you want grown men to eat 3 meals a day and serve them all these amenities like they’re in prison man stop 16 players around the league caught covid already shut the season down

Looks like COVID__19 is killing Adam Silver.

We still have UFC

No shit point dexter

No sports !!! We have other concerns like convicting BreonnaTalyor killers and promoting equality in our justice system. BlackLivesMatterDC

Also not to mention, the players

Gonna look back in 20 years and laugh our asses off that sports were cancelled because murica politicized science 🤡

Well I never knew the NBA was more important than a pandemic anyway.

Reboot?

As it should. Which is more important basketball entertainment or protecting the players from catching Covid-19? coronavirus COVIDー19 COVIDIOTS

Shut it down!

The ratings will be abysmal, the quality of play will be as competitive as all star weekend, and the NBA have taken the stance that the people who fill the arenas, buy merch, food, get season tickets, and ultimately pay all their salaries are racists.

Good.. Y'alls so-called social awareness and kneeling has me in...

Those suckers were overpaid anyways !! And by the way Funny how nobody is saying how the nba is racist ! 80 to 20 blacks !!!! But I guess that’s ok

Only way this shit doesn’t happen is if lebron gets corona

2020 is over, for everything.

I think NBA should cancel the season and get ready for next season without fans until hopefully vaccines are in place for Covid19 then the fans can return. This project restart in Orlando will jeopardize lives with the new waves of the virus widespread in United States

No one cares

Fuckkk

Why don't they just move to Nebraska or Alaska?

The least of our concerns at this moment.

Soooooo why don’t you just cut your losses? The COVIDIDIOTS of the world can wait for basketball.

At this point. In light of time lapse. Does anyone care about the NBA. Let’s work for next year. NBA player safety plus lack of fans compels saying the fans and players are all champions this year.

Probably wont be NFL either.

So we can all go to work but not the millionaires...

Uhduh

A logical person would scrap this season and prepare for 2020-2021. After the reopening false starts, this will only add to the list.

Cowards

Who cares.

NOOOOOOOO

Whether you believe in covid or not, all major sports need to prepare for next season and scrap 2020. MLB NBA NHL

Just End It

'MythBusters' Star Adam Savage Accused of Sexual Assault by His SisterThe TV personality is facing allegations of sexual abuse from when he was a child in a lawsuit filed Tuesday. She is alleging this happened when she was 7 and he was 9. That seems.... unlikely. After reading her statement and his statement and their mother's statement I'm going to say she needs professional help and I'm glad Adam is poised to fight this suit.
