One sports organization that is making many current adjustments to the COVID-19 situation is the NBA. The NBA has been looking for ways to incorporate and advertise their league while being unable to play games or hold team practices. The first main event that has come from this pandemic is an NBA 2K tournament played by various players from NBA teams. This tournament was hosted by Ronnie2K and players played online against each other while staying quarantined at home. Another way the NBA is trying to entertain their audience is through an ESPN televised H.O.R.S.E tournament which also featured current and former NBA players. 

Currently, the NBA is looking for a way to continue their season which was earlier indefinitely postponed on March 11, 2020. The NBA has looked into different scenarios for bringing the league back and finishing the season. Plans include playing games without fans, or having all teams enclosed in one area and testing players before games for COVID-19 to clear them medically. Hopefully, the NBA can get back to playing games soon and finish the season safely.

This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11. I’m a busy wife and mom.  I have taught as a lecturer in the mass media department since the fall of 2003, and I am also the director of Student Media at Washburn. The Student Media staff keeps  washburnreview.org  updated with new content all year long along with producing three Bod Magazines, 26 weekly issues
