As some states start to loosen their shelter-in-place restrictions this week, it naturally has people wondering what this means for the return of major sports.
Well, the NBA announced a big step in the right direction on Monday, saying that starting May 8, players for teams located in states without stay-at-home orders will be able to return to team facilities.
Below, you can see some of the more stringent details in a release from the league offices:

We’ll see how long it takes for all 30 teams to be back in action, but for now, as long as there aren’t more outbreaks, this is a step in the right direction.
Could the NBA salvage its postseason? We should find out over the next few weeks.
