NBA commissioner Adam Silver says “there will not be a law enforcement presence” on the Disney World Campus.
It was previously reported that local, state and federal law enforcement were going to be on the campus with the NBA players.
Adam Silver said “there will not a law enforcement presence” on the campus and that players will be free to leave the bubble, as opposed to being prevented.

If NBA players do leave the bubble, they will be subject to all the quarantine guidelines following their return.
Any player who leaves the campus will have to be quarantined for no less than 10 days and must have two negative coronavirus tests. Players will also be subject to a reduction in compensation for games missed and enhanced COVID-19 testing, which would be the deep nasal swab.
Odds are players are going to listen to the rules and stay inside the bubble since COVID-19 is no joke. After all, 16 players have already tested positive since teams returned to their respective markets this week.
The NBA has created an anonymous hotline to report potential violations of protocols in Orlando, Florida at the “bubble” games, which are set to begin on July 30. 22 teams will be staying at the Walt Disney Resort in three different hotels.
The following NBA clubs have already clinched a playoff spot: the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks.
That leaves nine teams fighting for three remaining playoff slots.
In the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards are in the race for two spots, while the Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns will jostle for the eighth seed out West.
