When asked how realistic the prospects of playing out the season were, Leonsis cited Dr. Anthony Fauci’s recommendation that it could be possible, if the leagues commit to playing games without fans and quarantining players and necessary staff members in hotels. “The NBA is like our federal government, if you will,” Leonsis said. “It will take its lead from governors and the federal government and all of the public health associations, and we listen to them. We can’t play games on our own. We are operating in a suspended mode and all of our focus is on what to do about the remainder of the season.”
