The league has entered “exploratory conversations with the Walt Disney Companyat Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Florida as a single site for an NBA campus for games, practices and housing,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement Saturday.
“Our priority continues to be the health and safety of all involved, and we are working with public health experts and government officials on a comprehensive set of guidelines to ensure that appropriate medical protocols and protections are in place.”which suspended its season when Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus
, has explored the idea of using a single site to resume games, and Las Vegas and Houston were other sites considered. But if the NBA restarts, the Disney complex makes sense for a variety of reasons, starting with the NBA’s relationship with Disney, which owns ABC and ESPN, two of the league’s main TV partners.
The Wide World of Sports Complex, located just southwest of Orlando, has multiple facilities that can host games, practices and housing. The HP Field House, which has been home to college basketball tournaments, includes an arena-style court setup and a smaller gym. The Arena and Visa Center are also set up for games and practices, and there are multiple housing facilities in the several Disney complexes in the area.
