League spokesman Mike Bass said the NBA and the National Basketball Players
Association are "engaged in exploratory conversations" with The Walt Disney
Company about a late-July restart at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports
Complex.

It would be a "single site for an NBA campus for games, practices and
housing," Bass said.

The NBA regular season was paused on March 11 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
