Kevin Durant’s agent Rich Kleiman and ESPN’s Brian Windhorst recently discussed that the possibility of finishing the NBA season at this point seems difficult with the current events, with China halting action in fear of a second wave of coronavirus.
Windhorst goes into detail about the talks within the league about the plans for a possible canceled season.
“The talks between the players union and the league this week, I’ve talked to both sides of this issue, and it is clear that the NBA is angling to set up a deal that enables them to shut the season down,” Windhorst said. “Now they don’t have to do that yet, and the way they’re negotiating they’re leaving themselves an option either way, but they’re not having talks about how to restart the league, they’re having financial talks about what would happen if the season shuts down, and I think there is a significant amount of pessimism right now.”
In the meantime, the NBA had stressed all scenarios, also considering drastic changes in the calendar in order to conclude the season, with games possibly scheduled in the summer months.
