Soon, the Warriors and Kings could be playing NBA games in empty arenas. The Athletic's Shams Charania reported Friday, citing sources, that the NBA has sent a memo to teams advising them to start preparing for the possibility of playing games with no fans in attendance due to the coronavirus outbreak. The New York Times' Marc Stein reported Friday, citing sources, that only "essential staff" would be allowed in arenas, meaning media would also be banned from entering.
