NBA’s non-Disney teams can train in individual team bubbles

Associated Press  

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The teams that didn’t get invited to Walt Disney World now have instructions on how they can get back to basketball — in their own bubbles. The NBA and National Basketball Players Association finalized an agreement Tuesday that allows the eight teams that didn’t qualify for the restart to have voluntary group workouts in their facilities beginning next month. A two-phase system will be used for the program that will run from Sept. 14-Oct. 6, which will have players “residing in a campus-like environment under controlled conditions.” The first phase, from Sept. 14-20, will be a continuation of voluntary individual workouts at team facilities. The eight teams that weren’t within six games of a playoff spot at the time play was suspended on March 11 didn’t qualify for the restart.
