– The NBA’s three-month stay at Disney World in Orlando was a huge success, with no players and coaches testing positive for COVID-19 after the virus derailed the season in March for four months. But even though the environment was safe, living on the campus required major sacrifices, and there is little appetite to return anytime soon, Reuters reports. “I think you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have ups and downs in the bubble,” LeBron James told reporters Sunday night. “At times I was questioning myself, should I be here? Is this worth sacrificing my family? I’ve never been without my family this long.” The 2020-21 campaign was slated to tip off in December but few expect that to happen given the league just wrapped up the longest season in its history and financial agreements still need to be hammered out. The NBA has already pushed back the draft from Oct. 16 to Nov. 18 and Commissioner Adam Silver has said he doesn’t expect the season to begin this year, with January or possibly February a more likely target. Silver, however, said he hopes to play a full 82-game season and playoffs in home arenas with fans despite the still raging pandemic. “Nothing has really changed with this virus,” Silver told reporters last month. “In fact, I think the majority of states right now, cases are ticking back up again.”
