Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, says the players should treat the NBA suspension like it’s the All-Star Break.
The league decided to suspend the season for at least 30 days after Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz were tested positive for the coronavirus.
“We met with all the players at the facility yesterday. We told them we’d be in touch with them again on Monday when the NBA has a more definitive update. I think the league right now is trying to figure out what this 30-day hiatus is going to mean in terms of practice and drills, that kind of thing.
But, we’re not practicing any time soon. Basically, our players, what I’ve communicated to them is that, from a basketball perspective, you have to treat this like it’s the All-Star break, where you’re not practicing, but you have to anticipate you might play a game soon.
The league could tell everyone to shut their facilities down. I don’t know. Or they could tell us we could work out with a certain number of players. We’re going to learn all that on Monday and we’ll share that with our players,” Kerr said, via Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
