Mike D’Antoni and Alvin Gentry fear their careers could end if they left out of the restart of the NBA in Orlando, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe.

The NBA is examining the possibility of asking coaches aged 60 or older to keep their distance from players, including in games.

D’Antoni (69), Gentry (65) and Gregg Popovich (71) are the oldest coaches in the NBA.

One of the significant factors in establishing risk for health complications due to the coronavirus is advanced age, which leaves three head coaches — Alvin Gentry (65), Mike D’Antoni (69) and Gregg Popovich (71) – perhaps vulnerable to recommendations of those evaluations. https://t.co/bNfRmsY7Cr

Reporting with @ZachLowe_NBA: NBA team personnel are expected to submit personal medical histories to a panel of physicians who would review their individual risk of serious illness due to any spread of COVID-19 in the league's Orlando bubble. https://t.co/C9aUuf6ttt
