Now, I’m sure some people in the middle will want to get all fired up about this, but it’s really not that big of a deal.
Is having dozens of players with coronavirus ideal? No, but should people be panicking? Absolutely not.

The season doesn’t start for a few weeks, and the league would rather have issues right now than in two months.
That much I can promise you beyond any shadow of a doubt. Plus, the NBA and Adam Silver have proven that they know what to do when it comes to dealing with coronavirus.

While 48 positive cases isn’t great, I really don’t think there’s any reason to be worried. Now, if we’re having this same conversation in a couple months, then it’s a very different situation.
As for right now, the league should be just fine.
