Among the reported highlights of Silver’s comments, according to multiple media reports, except where noted:—The league derives 40 percent of its revenue from having fans in the arenas, so playing in front of TV-only audiences would inflict major financial damage. —The NBA hopes to have daily COVID-19 testing for players, and if a player tests positive, he alone would be sent to quarantine with no disruption to the league’s schedule.
