NBA commissioner Adam Silver says it's “too soon to tell” what the economic impact is going to be due to the NBA's suspended season.

The NBA suspended play last week after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. Although owners are hopeful of resuming the season in the summer, it's unclear if that's even going to happen since we are seeing more and more people in the NBA population test positive for the infectious disease:

“It's too soon to tell what the economic impact will be,” Silver told Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.

“We've been analyzing multiple scenarios on a daily if not hourly basis and we'll continue to review the financial implications. Obviously, it's not a pretty picture but everyone, regardless of what industry they work in, is in the same boat.”

The CDC is currently recommending no big events of 50 or more people for the next two months. It is believed that NBA owners desperately want to at least play the playoffs since that's where the league makes most of its money for the year.

If the season resumes, it will probably be in July or August. Silver said the coronavirus pandemic could force the NBA to change its calendar permanently. We could see the 2020-21 season begin in December, just like the 2011-12 lockout season, which started on Christmas.

As it stands, Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Christian Wood, Kevin Durant and Marcus Smart are the NBA players that we know have contracted the virus. There are other people in the league which have it as well, but we don't know there names, nor are we obligated to.
