"I don't think that necessarily means that, on May 1, we will be [in that position], but at least I know that just to settle everyone down a little bit. "Any decision on a date to restart the season is likely weeks away and will be made in consultation with public health experts and in line with governmental directives and guidance."
"What that means, in terms of our ability to come back at some point, whether it be in late spring or early summer, is unknown to me." Silver was one of the major league sports commissioners who held a conference call with President Donald Trump on Saturday, during which the President said he hoped sports would resume by the summer and that fans would be allowed to attend games.
Silver echoed Trump's thoughts and suggested he wanted the NBA to be at the forefront of restarting society, once the major leagues are allowed to gear back up.
