The NBA was the first American professional sports league to suspend its season due to concerns regarding the spread of the coronavirus, which was the result of Utah Jazz big man Rudy Gobert preliminarily testing positive for COVID-19.
Now the league is doing what it can to help stop the spread and promote social distancing.
On Wednesday, the NBA, with Tuner Sports, announced fans will get a free preview of NBA League Pass until April 22. Fans will have access to full-length games from 2019-20, as well as classic games.
The league made the announcement on Twitter, stating:
Limiting social interactions is a critical way to minimize the spread of this virus, but staying home for long periods of time can be difficult. With the 2019-20 NBA season on hiatus, the NBA and Turner Sports are providing all fans with a free preview of NBA League Pass, the league’s premium subscription-based product, until April 22. This complimentary offering provides access to full length and condensed replays of all games from the 2019-20 season, as well as an expansive archive of classic games and content.
