Mark Cuban believes it is likely the NBA will resume the season in early June.

Speaking on 93.7 The Fan, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks said he is optimistic about a return in early June, as there have been various advances in the medical field in the fight against the coronavirus.

“If things really go our way, it’s not inconceivable to me — and this is me being hopeful and not being scientific — that we could potentially play games in early June.

All I know from all the science and everything that I’m reading, I think we’re making enough advances that several of them will come through so we can start planning what a comeback would look like.

I’m a big believer in American exceptionalism, and everything I’m starting to hear in terms of the science is coming along and the medical advances that we’re making to fight this thing makes me very positive,” Cuban said.
