It’s only been a handful of days since the NBA suspended the 2019-20 season, and precautions surrounding the coronavirus are continuing to grow. The NBA’s hiatus is expected to last at least 30 days, yet that timeline could change.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending there should be no events of 50-or more people for the next eight weeks. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the NBA is bracing for a mid-to-late June return to the court as a best-case scenario.
After celebrating his 32nd birthday, Stephen Curry is calling for others to “take responsibility” in slowing down the spread of COVID-19.
Via @StephenCurry30 on Twitter:
What’s up everybody, I know this time is pretty hectic and crazy and there’s a lot of uncertainty out there, but I just want to take the time to encourage everybody to practice social distancing to the best of their abilities. I know people do a lot of different situations and a lot of demands, you know from person-to-person, but as best we can practice social distancing so we can get rid of the spread of this virus as soon as possible. Flatten the curve, make sure you stay six feet away from people wash your hands when you’re going inside-outside as much as you can on water, and so, and we can all come together collectively to stop the spread of this virus. So, everybody do their part. I’m doing mine at home, me and my family really enjoying family time, but as best you can social distance yourself. And we can flatten the curve and get rid of this virus as soon as possible. Appreciate it. Stop the spread. Let’s do it.
We all have to take responsibility for ourselves and do whatever it takes to #stopthespread. There’s a sense of urgency to flatten the curve and give ourselves and the healthcare system the best chance to get through this pandemic.
