The Lakers have set a target date for reopening their facility. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter links), the team is expecting to open on May 16 under the NBA’s protocols.
The franchise continues to work with the appropriate government and health officials to ensure the safety of its players and staff, Charania adds.
California’s stay-at-home order is in place through May 15. It was previously reported that several NBA teams plan on opening up this week, with the Rockets, Blazers, Cavaliers, and Nuggets all in position to open their doors on Friday.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel tells Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times (Twitter link) that he isn’t worried about any competitive advantage the other teams may gain from reopening their facilities early.
What is the target date for returning the team name “Lakers” to Minnesota where it rightfully belongs ??
With all the s**t facing the world today, THIS is your big issue?!?!?
joke comment. do you not understand how franchises work? Hence the Atlanta Braves formerly being the Milwaukee Braves and Boston before that.
This is outside of the box, but the Lake show should open back up for business and “play” their schedule and then when teams don’t show up, they win by forfeit
well since sliver runs things that would never be allowed
So much for a silver lining
