NBA players watch basketball all the time. They watch on TV, they review film, they watch games they’re interested in via NBA LeaguePass. Even during the playoffs, it’s not uncommon to see players from noncompeting teams show up in person to watch the action. This time, the situation is a little unique because players won’t have to watch the games on TV. They’ll be right there, with every game played available to them. “I think it’s great that we’ll be able to do that,” Jazz center Rudy Gobert said Monday. “We’re all fans of the game of basketball. I think I’m definitely going to go watch some games.”
