Mavs' Mark Cuban Thinks Risking NBA's Return ‘Isn't Worth The Reward' (via NESN)
Professional sports leagues in the United States are itching to return following the COVID-19 outbreak. But some health and safety concerns still remain for players, staff and fans alike.The Dallas Mavericks owner appeared on the latest edition of the “77 Minutes In Heaven” podcast, where he discussed when the NBA might resume play. Cuban made it clear he’s looking out for the well-being of every person involved in re-opening the NBA.
“The problem obviously is that because we can’t test people, then we cannot assure anybody’s safety, whether they’re basketball players or anybody else,” Cuban said, as transcribed by ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “Even though we can try to take all different kinds of precautions, it’s just not worth it — particularly when our guys are staying in shape and they’re going outside and shooting on outdoor hoops and working out in various ways. So I just don’t think the risk is worth the reward.
