New York state governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday that the state’s professional sports teams can begin training again, and the Brooklyn Nets are ready to get right back to work.
Hours after the governor made his announcement, the Nets announced they will open HSS Training Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday. In doing so, the Nets also made clear they will stick to the NBA’s guidelines for training at team facilities:
- No more than four players would be permitted at a facility at any one time.
- No head or assistant coaches could participate.
- Group activity remains prohibited, including practices or scrimmages.
- Players remain prohibited from using non-team facilities such as public health clubs, fitness centers, or gyms.
The #Nets just announced they will open their training facility in Brooklyn on Tuesday while strictly adhering to NBA protocols for workouts during the COVID-19 crisis.
