While inside the bubble, NBA players need not worry about food. Once players finish their quarantine period, they will have greater culinary options.
USA Today reported that the NBA has partnered with an executive chef and a chain of restaurants to provide those inside the bubble with food and beverage choices. When the teams first arrive inside the bubble, they will have their meals delivered directly to their hotel rooms. They will later have access to various restaurants inside the campus.
“Each of the 22 NBA teams were paired with a Disney culinary team, who meets with each NBA team’s nutritionists regularly to create menus to support specific team needs,” the league said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports.

“After clearing quarantine, players will also have access to various restaurants on campus and delivery options to choose from. Players will receive three meals a day and four meals on game days. There is never a shortage of food options – players can always request additional food by speaking with their team nutritionists.”
NBA has also partnered with six restaurants to provide delivery service:
Morton’s
Palm
Saltgrass
Del Frisco’s
