There's a The Athletic article that says Disney facilities are the frontrunner for hosting the NBA's restart with an eye towards a single host site.
As a commenter in the article mentioned, what a sweet bonus for Brook and Robin if this bears fruit.
Anyway, with every league taking steps to restart, it's looking more and more likely we'll get at least close (barring a setback) to seeing professional team sports played in the US this summer.
Quote:While the league has explored the possibility of holding games in multiple cities, it appears likely that Orlando would be a sole host. Sources confirmed that Houston, as first reported by The Ringer on Wednesday, has also received serious consideration as a host city. But Orlando is on track to win its bid so long as final details regarding testing and hotel use are resolved. For the NBA, Orlando/Disney World’s controllability as a playing site — with a private property having the necessary complexes, hotels and amenities — has been the most appealing of all the possibilities all along.
