The NBA is in serious discussions with the Walt Disney World
complex in Orlando to serve as the playing site for when the league
resumes its season, according to The Athletic. The report states

access due to the complex being private property. The NBA is
believed to be targeting a mid-July return to the season, with ESPN

returning to their team's market are expected to be placed in
quarantine for two weeks, with individual workouts and training
camps to take place following the quarantine period.
