NBA Commissioner Adam Silver finds himself almost constantly looking at financial numbers and projections. And like the rest of a world that is dealing with the seismic effects of the coronavirus pandemic, he still isn't sure how bad things will get.
Silver said Saturday the league is considering all options best-case, worst-case and countless ideas in between as it tries to come to grips with this new normal. But definitive answers on any front are in short supply.
"It's too soon to tell what the economic impact will be," Silver said.
"We've been analyzing multiple scenarios on a daily if not hourly basis and we'll continue to review the financial implications. Obviously, it's not a pretty picture but everyone, regardless of what industry they work in, is in the same boat."
"We don't know what the future holds but the NBA has been through a lot, we've seen a lot and I think we'll be incredibly resilient. It just might take time."
"We are also making sure that we are prepared to resume the season if and when it becomes safe for all concerned."
"So, Thursday's results did not come as a huge surprise and just like everyone else, we're just trying to take each day as it comes."
