Another Celtics star, Jayson Tatum, recently stated that he had given it a lot of thought before joining his team.

“For me, just being away from my son for two or three months, that’s what’s really bothering me. … Especially when they’re that young — their growth, they change every week. Just knowing I’m going to miss out on that. Missing my mom, my family. It’s been tough,” he said during a recent conference call with the reporters.

The facilities provided within the huge entertainment arena will certainly help players share a few light moments inside the bubble. Apart from players lounges with facilities like swimming pool, table tennis, and video games, the players can also book fishing and boating trips.

The remainder of the 2019/20 NBA season will get underway from July 30. The same fixture that kick-started the NBA season last October will restart the proceedings after the hiatus. A game between local rivals Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers on July 30 will resume the campaign after a few practice games in the week prior to the game.
