The NBA has allowed its players to travel out of their team's market provided that they consult with management and provide daily health and basketball updates.

Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, players can move out of their team's market starting Monday. In addition, teams are permitted to pay for certain travel arrangements.

Medical experts have recommended the general public that the best way to contain the virus' spread is through social distancing. However, since not a few NBA players are separated from their families, this new guideline would allow them to be with their families and friends.

When news broke out that Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz contracted the virus, the season was immediately put on hold. Both the Jazz and the Oklahoma City Thunder were put on quarantine and subsequently tested for the virus.

As of this writing, Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, and Detroit Pistons big man Christian Wood have tested positive for COVID-19. Gobert and Mitchell have sent updates regarding their condition. While they're doing better every day, they still remain in isolation.

From the looks of it, the NBA is looking for solutions to stop the virus' spread but at the same time, lessen the financial impact brought about by the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended a postponement of events of 50 plus people for the next two months.

In response to this, NBA owners and executives are reportedly looking at the resumption of the season mid-to-late June with no fans. As such, they are scouting for possible arena dates all the way to August.
