mid-June and playing games in Orlando by mid-July.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had floated the possibility of dual sites -
Orlando and Las Vegas - where teams could play in a "bubble" in an attempt toprotect players, team staff and officials from the virus.
聯盟主席Adam Silver先前提過兩個可能比賽的地點--奧蘭多跟拉斯維加斯--球隊會在那邊打閉門比賽，藉此保護球員，隊職員以及裁判，防止被感染。

"all professional sports" to practice and play in his state, is now favouriteto be the sole site.
在佛羅里達州州長Ron DeSantis上週說"所有職業運動"可以在佛羅里達州開始練習及比賽後，奧蘭多現在很有可能成為主要唯一的候選比賽地點。

"What I would tell commissioners of leagues is: 'If you have a team in an
area where they just won't let them operate, we'll find a place for you here
in the state of Florida'," DeSantis said.
「我要跟這些職業聯盟的主席說：『如果你們的球隊所在地不讓你們打，來我們這邊我們會找地方給你，」DeSantis說。

family from the virus.
Ingles是目前暫居西區排名第四的爵士隊球員，他說為了保護他的家人避免感染，他已經準備好要離開美國，飛回澳洲，這輩子再也不打比賽，這樣他也非常的滿意了。

child and four-year-old son Jacob has autism and a weakened immune system.

despite it opening up to players with strict guidelines. He has a gym and
hoop at his home for workouts.

Ingles will take a wait-and-see approach to playing games if the season does
start.
若是球季真的開始，Ingles會採取觀望的態度。

"I have a gym, I have everything I can do.

"As for basketball, it's a bit more difficult, but I think that as we go
ahead and find out more information about it, it will be easier to make a
decision.
「但是關於打籃球，這就比較困難了。但是我認為隨著時間過去，會有更多的消息出來，這樣會比較容易做決定。」

"But I am in no way willing to risk my children, and Renae, and everything
else, to go play basketball."
「但是我是絕對不會因為打籃球而讓我的小孩，我的老婆Renae跟其他所有事冒風險。」

"If I were him, no I'm not subjecting myself to that, because then I can
bring it home to my family," Nance Jr told reporters.
「如果我是他的話，我是不會把自己暴露在那情況下的，因為那有可能會讓我把病毒帶回家給我的家人，」Nance Jr跟記者說。

Silver is open to either playing out the regular season or heading straight
into the playoffs.
