Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban speaks with the media after playing the Denver Nuggets about the NBA’s decision to suspend the season due to the coronavirus.
Cuban describes his reaction to initially seeing the news and why he didn’t have any concerns about playing a game on Wednesday night.
What other major sports leagues have been impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) has announced that they will be suspending the 2019-20 NBA season indefinitely as a result of the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
This unprecedented move comes after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus just minutes before tip-off of their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. The game was subsequently postponed, and the NBA quickly made the decision to suspend the season altogether.
The suspension of the NBA season is a major blow for basketball fans around the world, who will now have to wait indefinitely to see their favourite teams and players take to the court. It is also a financial hit for many teams and arenas, as ticket sales and other forms of revenue will be lost with the suspension of the season.
The NBA is just one of many major sports leagues that have been impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. Major League Baseball (MLB) has cancelled their remaining spring training games and delayed the start of their regular season, and the National Hockey League (NHL) and Major League Soccer (MLS) have also suspended their seasons.
This decision by the NBA reflects the broader efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, which has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The virus has already caused widespread disruption around the world, with governments and organizations taking decisive action to minimize its impact.
The NBA has not yet provided any information about when the season might resume, but it is clear that the league is taking the situation very seriously. In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said, “This hiatus will last at least 30 days and we intend to resume the season, if and when it becomes safe for all concerned.”
The suspension of the NBA season is a clear reminder of the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impact it is having on all aspects of society. Basketball fans around the world will no doubt be disappointed by this news, but it is a necessary step to protect the health and wellbeing of everyone involved.
