Well, another day goes by and coronavirus continues to have a huge negative impact on the world of sports. It just never ends.
Of course, the NBA didn’t really have a choice here. You can’t have the draft lottery if you have no idea how the season was going to end.

In fact, you can’t really have the lottery until you know the teams that won’t be in the playoffs. When will that be?
Literally nobody has any idea at all. Games haven’t been played since March, and they don’t appear to be coming back anytime soon.
It’s just an incredibly chaotic situation. Coronavirus brought the world of sports crashing down, and we really need it to end.

Hopefully, the NBA is able to return sooner than later.
