Alex Caruso skips family wedding to stay in the bubble

by 6 Comments

When the NBA released its schedule to resume the season at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, Alex Caruso, the Los Angeles Lakers‘ reserve guard, cringed at the timing. His older sister by two years, Megan, was scheduled to get married on July 18 outside of Austin, Texas. Despite everything — the season scheduled to resume, the coronavirus pandemic surging in Texas, the fact that part of the 100-plus-person celebration would take place indoors — Caruso wanted to go.

The NBA bubble court ?

by 1 Comment

Before the Lakers started practice Saturday on Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports campus, LeBron James and Anthony Davis got a peek at the arena where they would be playing games.

They saw the video screens surrounding the court, where it’s possible virtual fans will be shown during a game. They saw the bench area where seats will be spaced apart, nothing like the knee-to-knee setup on a normal NBA bench. The court reads Black Lives Matter just in front of a plexiglass box that encloses the scorer’s table.

“I think it’s pretty cool how they’ll have the big monitors, where you can have your family, friends, fans, whoever, kind of be in the arena,” Davis said. “I think that’s a pretty dope idea. I know they’re still trying to figure out some things as far as lighting and sound and stuff. But I think the whole concept of it is pretty dope.”
