Every team out there in the NBA is on a mission to help their arena workers. They are the ones who perform their duties tirelessly during game days. Players like Zion Williamson and Antetokounmpo were among the first ones to rush to the aid of their arena workers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has spread largely around the globe, affecting millions. In this time of uncertainty, the best advice would be to respect those who are putting their lives on their line to prevent the spread. Like Giannis said, staying indoors is the best way we can help them.
