"The reality is in the hospital we see the real devastating effects of moving too quickly and not adhering to social distancing practices. Governors of states including Missouri and Arkansas have decided to reopen large events and gatherings beginning this week. And public health officials have made very clear we have miles and miles to walk before we can be back in those environments."

NBA wants to finish rest of the season; start next season in December

Asked for updates surrounding the decision on those events, the NBA did not immediately return a request for comment. But if league owners are seriously considering resuming play without sacrificing games, pushing back the start of the 2020-2021 regular season is almost inevitable. In essence, the idea of starting games around Christmas is a time more relevant for the NBA, Koonin said. "Many times, at the start of the NBA season, we are competing with arguably the best Thursday Night Football game with the NBA on TNT, our marquee broadcast, and we get crushed and we wonder why," Koonin said, according to ESPN. Ponturo agreed with the NBA starting games around Christmas, saying fan activity around the sport usually increases.

NBA boss Adam Silver faces the league's biggest challenge ever to restart the season, but insiders say he's prepared

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Mike Stobe | Getty ImagesTo those who know him, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is built for this moment. "Being first counts, and he was first," said Ed Desser, president of Desser Media and a former league executive and president of NBA television.

Microsoft lands a deal with the NBA to use Azure and Surface starting with the 2020-21 season

The National Basketball Association will adopt Microsoft's Azure cloud to enhance the online experience for fans, and will use Microsoft Surface tablets in unspecified ways, starting in the league's 2020-21 season, the parties announced Thursday. "I think the fact that we are announcing it in the middle of this pandemic is a testament to how important it is that we move forward with this deal," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told CNBC in an interview on Wednesday. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella noted that the company has worked with the NBA for a long time. It is not yet clear if the NBA deal will include similar product placement. Microsoft and the NBA began discussing the effort before the company sent home nonessential workers to prevent further spread of the coronavirus, Nadella said.

How the NBA is planning to save its season after the coronavirus forced a suspension

Las Vegas has emerged as the best location to resume the season, according to league executives. But if the NBA does return, team executives told CNBC they favored Las Vegas as a possible location to conclude the season. An NBA spokesperson told CNBC the league has considered many "scenarios" but is not close to rolling out a plan. The NBA could decide to cancel the remainder of its regular season and create a play-in tournament for lower-seeded teams to enter the postseason. At last month's NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago, Silver told reporters the NBA could lose up to $400 million due to its rift with China.

NBA fines Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $500,000 for on-court tirade

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban watches on from behind the bench during the second half of an NBA game against the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on February 22, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia. The National Basketball Association fined Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $500,000 for publicly criticizing and displaying detrimental conduct regarding officiating in a Feb. 22 game against the Atlanta Hawks, the league announced on Friday. The NBA also denied the Mavericks' protest of the loss in Atlanta, where a controversial goal-tending call was overturned late in the fourth quarter, leading to Cuban's tirade. After the call, Cuban approached NBA officials "shaking his head and directing comments toward them," the league said in a statement. After examining game footage, NBA commissioner Adam Silver determined the Mavericks' challenge of the Feb. 22 contest was not valid.
