NBA: Teams that break virus protocols may lose games, picks
Read full article: NBA: Teams that break virus protocols may lose games, picksNBA teams that do not comply with league rules designed to minimize the spread of the coronavirus this season could face major penalties such as forfeiting games or draft picks, the league told its franchises Saturday. Those rules apply both when teams are at home and when they are on the road, the NBA said. The household members of those Tier 1 and Tier 2 individuals are also being urged to get flu shots. The league made clear in the final protocols that if teams don’t take the health and safety rules seriously, a serious price will be paid. One key addition to the final version of the NBA protocols: Teams, when they go on the road, will have some freedoms and will not be forced to stay in their hotels when not practicing or playing.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said realignment could help with ongoing travel restrictions for Canada and mandated quarantines for visiting certain states in the United States. But details are still being worked out in talks between the league and NHL Players’ Association. The NHL finished last season in bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton, Alberta, but Bettman has ruled out using bubbles for an entire schedule.
