Various executives and team medical personnel around the NBA have been discussing possible protocols to get players ready for games and one of the ideas has been a 25-day training program before the play resumes, according to ESPN.

Players would go through 11 days of individual workouts in which they could maintain some measure of social distancing. Then, if permitted by medical officials, they would transition to a two-week training camp with entire squads participating.

Medical teams and league executives have expressed concern about timelines if the NBA is to continue its season and there is a growing concern about players’ susceptibility to injuries when play is permitted again. .
