The NBA season has been suspended since March 11 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As NBA commissioner Adam Silver and the league office prepare to try and slowly get back into the swing of things, some concerns have risen.

With certain teams beginning plans to reopen their practice facilities, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul is worried about player safety.

Per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Paul expressed concern to Commissioner Silver that teams could be pressuring players to work out at team facilities amid the pandemic.

Silver, however, assured Paul that working out at team facilities will be optional for all players regardless of their team. Also, if the problem continues, Silver advised him to follow up his concerns with the league.

As the President of the NBA Players Association since 2013, Paul has been a voice for the players for the last seven years.

On the court, the 35-year-old was excelling prior to the league's postponement in his first season with the Thunder. In 63 games, the 10-time NBA All-Star was averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from deep.

Chris Paul's veteran leadership and strong play has allowed Oklahoma City to be one of the biggest surprises of the NBA season, as the team was sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference before the season was put to a halt.

While no concrete plans have been made as to when or if the NBA season will return or not, the league will have to consider the safety of players, staff members and fans when deciding the correct action.
