NBA Teams Reportedly Expect G League Season to Be Canceled Amid Coronavirus

Adam WellsMar 15, 2020

NBA teams are reportedly preparing for the likelihood that the remainder of the G League season will be canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews, the expectation is the 2019-20 G League campaign will "soon be cancelled."

Wojnarowski cited calendar issues, as well as "the fact G League teams travel on commercial airlines and generally are money-drains for NBA teams make it even harder to move forward for rest of the season."

G League play was suspended Thursday, the day after the NBA announced it was suspending its season because of the coronavirus.

A potential cancellation of the G League season comes as the CDC has recommended organizers cancel or postpone all events in the United States with 50 or more people for the next eight weeks.

Per the latest estimates (h/t CNN.com), there are now at least 2,033 cases of coronavirus in this country and 47 people have died.

Wojnarowski did note G League players will be paid through the end of the regular-season schedule.

The G League regular season was originally scheduled to end March 28, with the postseason set to run throughout April.
