National Basketball Association<\/strong> (NBA) teams are gearing up for the potential release of guidelines from the league office regarding their ability to recall of players who are not currently in their markets\u2014paving a path for the possible resumption of the 2019-2020 NBA season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Teams are also waiting for the league\u2019s green light on expanding individual workouts to incorporate more team staff. A number of NBA stakeholders believe that commissioner Adam Silver<\/strong> will give the go-ahead by June 1, which would set the date for the first games to be played come the tail-end of July. NBA superstars, including LeBron James<\/strong> and Chris Paul<\/strong>, president of the players\u2019 union, have already agreed to support resuming the season.<\/p>\n

The 2019-2020 NBA season was suspended on March 11<\/a> due to the COVID-19 pandemic after Utah Jazz\u2019s Rudy Gobert tested postive. The league is currently in the midst of talks detailing a plan to resume the season. Sources indicate that the league office is thinking about instituting a player recall into their markets for a 14 day quarantine period, 7 to 14 days of solo workouts at team gyms, and a formal training camp for two to three weeks.<\/p>\n
