NBA to issue guidelines around June 1

NBA teams expect the league office to issue guidelines around June 1 allowing teams to begin recalling far-flung players in anticipation of resuming the coronavirus-disrupted season, ESPN reported.

The US sports broadcaster said teams expect to be told about the same time when they can expand individual workouts to include more team personnel.

Many owners and club executives expect league commissioner Adam Silver to announce in June that the season will resume — with games to begin “sometime before the end of July.”
