NBA, Disney in talks

The National Basketball Association is in talks with The Walt Disney Company about restarting its suspended season at Disney World in Florida in late July after it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league said on Saturday. The potential plan would see the league hold games at a single site, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, a sprawling athletic complex inside the Orlando resort that has three arenas, hotels and would allow the league to limit outside exposure. In mid-March, with five weeks remaining in its 82-game schedule, the NBA became the first major North American professional sports league to shut down after a player tested positive for the new coronavirus. The NBA playoffs were originally scheduled to begin on April 18 and conclude in June.
