There have been thoughts games could be played without fans in arenas or at neutral cities such as Las Vegas. Something Poeltl would not want to see happen but does understand the severity of the COVID-19 virus. “That would logically not be optimal, but the conditions would be the same for everyone,” said Poeltl. “So you could at least give people some entertainment at home.” Said Poeltl: “Of course I would like to finish the season, but you are also worried. Basketball is a contact sport and if someone has the virus, many will have it in a short time.”
