Nuggets veteran Paul Millsap shares the same thoughts as those of Malone. He describes this as a scary situation. This is a time where everyone is in shock and they don’t know what to think. It is a smart move by the NBA to do this. It gives players time to process the news and spend some time with their families.
The effects of the NBA’s decision are still unknown. Will the regular season be postponed? Or would the league directly start from the playoffs? Will we have Finals in July or August? Or would the league cancel the whole season? All this remains to be seen.
