It is not a lot of money when (you) think about it in the grand scheme of America. But we can start having a little bit of money, create a little bit of generational wealth.”“But the fact that us not playing will hurt our pockets, I don’t think that is the right way to go about it.”</blockquote><p>Several NBA players have voiced concern over the bubble site games at Walt Disney World.

(on March 9 and 10) when the stuff was going on, and then went to San Francisco (on March 11), which early on in America those were two (COVID-19) hotbeds, obviously, as well as Seattle. So when we found out about ‘K’ (Durant), when he told us, it was like, ‘Wow, really?’ (When they were) flying back as a team doing different things, none of us had been around (people who were known to have been infected).”</blockquote><p>Temple went on to say that after dealing with the initial shock, Nets players all made sure to let Durant know that they were giving him their full support in this ordeal:</p><blockquote>“So when we found out that KD had it, it was kind of shocking honestly, because he wasn’t showing any symptoms,” Temple added. “I was sad for him, because it’s just something that you don’t want to have, because we don’t really know anything about it. That was the main thing. I was surprised and I wanted to make sure he knew we had his back and whatever he needed. … As a team, we have a group chat and everybody told him they were thinking about him and things of that nature, as well as the other guys.”</blockquote><p>The Nets have yet to provide an update on Durant’s current condition, but it does appear that he is well and remains in high spirits. Last week, Utah Jazz duo of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-rudy-gobert-donovan-mitchell-team-cleared-of-coronavirus/" rel="noopener noreferrer">cleared of the coronavirus</a>, so we’re hoping to hear a similar report for Durant soon.</p><p>Temple also talked about the process of possibly resuming the season, acknowledging the “fluid” situation and how they’re hoping for a return to the court in mid-June. That’s still totally up in the air, though, and it’s impossible to say at this point when sports will resume.</p><p>Either way, it’s going to be a long wait for the Nets and the rest of the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/washington-wizards/">Washington Wizards</a> point guard was banned for two games after confronting a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/">Philadelphia 76ers</a> heckler last week — an act Temple viewed as indefensible.</p><blockquote>“Two-game suspension, I feel like that’s a lot,” said Temple, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/12/23/rodions-kurucs-getting-nets-second-chance-in-david-nwaba-fallout/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brian Lewis of The New York Post</a>. “But the league can’t make someone say something or not, that’s the fan. … It’s up to the fans to change the way they respect the game and us as human beings.”</blockquote><p>The two-game suspension will cost Thomas $32,000, while the heckling fan was banned from Sixers games for a year and stripped of his season-ticket holder rights. The fan was also refunded for the remainder of games he would miss the rest of the season, meaning he earned money while Thomas had to give it away as a result of the suspension.</p><p>A couple of game checks might not seem like much, but he’s only making $2.3 million on a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum in this attempt to return to full health.</p><p>The NBA has put forward a zero-tolerance policy for fans, but they were forced to penalize Thomas as he went into the stands to confront the heckling fan.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
