\n Adam Silver is confident in the plan \u2014 that the NBA\u2019s 22-team restart in Orlando, Fla., will be able to crown a champion without a spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic forcing a cancellation. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn paper and dealing with our experts, this should work,\u201d the NBA commissioner said at a Fortune Brainstorm Health virtual conference Tuesday afternoon. <\/p>\n

That, of course, doesn\u2019t mean it will. Silver admitted as much, declining to offer his level of confidence that the league won\u2019t have to cancel play at any point after restarting on July 30 with an eight-game<\/a> finish to the regular season followed by the playoffs. He expects there to be more positive tests, especially as players and team personnel arrive this week for training camp in Florida, which has become a hot spot for this virus. But Silver believes the NBA will do everything possible to create a safe environment. He said he thinks players will be safer inside the bubble than outside it because of the precautions and guidelines \u2014 daily testing, contact tracing, social<\/a> distancing and wearing masks \u2014 in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very protected environment, but again this virus has humbled many and so I\u2019m not going to express any higher level of confidence than we\u2019re following the protocols and we hope it works as we designed it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Not everyone is on board. A number of players, including Trevor Ariza, Avery Bradley, Wilson Chandler, DeAndre Jordan and Spencer Dinwiddie, won\u2019t be competing due to health concerns or because they have tested positive for the virus. Silver said his biggest worry is that after initial testing and the quarantine period that follows, more positive tests pop up. At that point, the league will have to decide a course of action. If it\u2019s just a positive case here or there, the NBA would likely play on.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly, if we had any sort of significant spread at all within our campus, we would be shut down again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

What \u201csignificant\u201d exactly entails, Silver said he wasn\u2019t ready to define. The NBA is in the process of doing that. The league also would want to understand where the positive cases are coming from, and if it meant there was a hole in the bubble. This is obviously different compared to when the NBA postponed the season on March 11 after Rudy Gobert tested positive. The NBA has reported a total of 25 players \u2014 out of 351 \u2014 have tested positive since last week. <\/p>\n

In March, fans were still attending games, teams were travel<\/a>ing, testing was far more limited and the virus was new to everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is a very different model and now a very different protocol,\u201d Silver said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
