The NBA has modified its dress code for the 2019-20 season restart at Orlando, Florida, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

Players will not be required to wear a sport coat on the bench, as they can wear short/long-sleeve polos instead.

Normally when NBA players aren’t active, they are required to wear sport coats on the bench.

Back in 2005, the late David Stern said all NBA players must dress in business or conservative attire while arriving and departing during a scheduled game, on the bench while injured and when conducting official NBA business such as press interviews.

However, there really is no need for a strict dress code at the “bubble” games since there won’t be any fans at the games and press interviews will be done virtually.

The “bubble” games will begin on July 30. 22 teams will be partaking in the resumption of the season, which was originally suspended in March after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. The 22 NBA teams that will be at Walt Disney World will play eight seeding games as selected from their remaining regular-season matchups.

At the end of the seeding games, the seven teams in each conference with the best-combined records across regular-season games and seeding games will qualify for the 2020 playoffs.

NBA players have been informed that anyone who leaves the Orlando campus will be subject to a reduction in compensation for games missed and enhanced COVID-19 testing.
