NBA teams in Orlando will scrimmage against a team in opposite conference or an unlikely first-round playoff opponent in same conference, league tells teams in a memo.
Scrimmages are part of Phase 5 that begins on July 22. https://t.co/q7iaUAAkz4

New ESPN story: Gordon Hayward will leave the bubble, if Boston is still playing, for the birth of his fourth child in September. Story includes details on the procedures in place for a player leaving the bubble for an approved reason: https://t.co/h1EDjN4Uze
A poignant, powerful statement from JJ Redick: “To say that we have any sort of comfort level, would be a lie. There is no comfort level...” https://t.co/6UR2jKdNaQ
Quoted @royceyoung
Danilo Gallinari, an unrestricted free agent after the season, said he never considered opting out of Orlando: "The main reason is we are fighting for something, and I think what we are fighting for and what we are playing for is more important than the free agency."
Gallinari has earned $138M in his career compared to the $16M Davis Bertans has earned. Also, OKC is a legit playoff threat compared to Washington who is trying to force a play-in game. https://t.co/19uzvMakyq

Anthony Tolliver, secretary-treasurer of the NBA players association, says he proposed the idea yesterday of a pool of free agents coming into the bubble in case there are multiple positives on a team. Didn't imply that would happen, but shows discussions continue.
This is smart and recommended. https://t.co/lztgBpmzsU

Reporting with @TimBontemps @kpelton and @Mike_Schmitz. What would a second bubble actually look like? https://t.co/VYbCYfOC1T
The logical decision is to keep the 8 teams in their home market and conduct a minicamp (but with restrictions on who plays) in mid-September. Use these teams as a test run for when training camp starts in November. https://t.co/QmpJBsOnyx

I was the 1st to announce my visit to Howard & other started to dream “what if”. I need to make the HBCU movement real so that others will follow. I hope I inspire guys like Mikey Williams to join me on this journey. I am committing to Howard U & coach Kenny Blakeney #MakerMob
Five-star senior Makur Maker announces he’s committing to Howard. Chose the Bison over UCLA. What a get for Kenny Blakeney. https://t.co/7LuLWEovNv

ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan reporting on the 8 non-Orlando teams moving toward a ‘second bubble’ in Chicago. https://t.co/9Vs9Nt0x87
Quoted @BobbyMarks42
Interested to see how the NBA would deal with free agents on the 8 non-Orlando teams when it comes to a second bubble. Over 40 players that could become free agents in mid-October. Golden State is the only team with their full roster intact.
Suggestion would be to expand rosters to 20 like training camp. This would benefit players that finished the season in the G-League and protect teams if there are free agent defections. https://t.co/FRWiBkN06q
