Los Angeles Lakers Reveal Date For Opening Practice Facility

The NBA has allowed teams to reopen their practice facilities so that players can do their individual workouts. This may be a big move forward for some team. However, this decision may not sit well with some teams. It’s a big step towards resuming the regular season. But, it may disrupt the competitive balance. Not all NBA teams play in areas with loosened guidelines. With this decision, some teams will have more advantages than others. When will the Los Angeles Lakers hit their practice facility?

There isn’t an official announcement. However, many teams plan to reopen their facilities even in areas with strict guidelines.

The Lakers are ready to hit their practice facility

Jeanie Buss’ Lakers plan to reopen their facility on May 16 as confirmed by Shams Charania of The Athletic. These teams will work with governments agencies to provide great conditions for the players. Safety above all.

The Houston Rockets plan to reopen their facility on Monday, May 18, as confirm by Mark Medina from USA Today. This is adjusted to the order of Texas governor Gregg Abbott to delay the reopening of gym to May 18.

Jeff Zillgitt from USA Today reported that many other teams have similar plans for the upcoming week. The Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks will reopen their facilities next week.

The Golden State Warriors are far away from reopening their facility. San Francisco will be under stay-at-home guidelines until May 31 or even further. The Warriors don’t really have a chance to make the playoffs. However, their situation is not that good. If the NBA playoffs are played with some teams having more access to their practice facilities than other teams, players may be worried about the fairness of the games on the basketball court.

NBA teams can’t work as a group at this moment. Many players have different access to their equipment. We don’t know which teams are in the best position to resume the season. The NBA will sure provide that all organizations have the same chance to get back into the big game. There is still no plan for uniformity on this topic at the moment. What will happen next?
