– No basketball until we get the problems solved, concludes Howard.
the NBA is planning to resume the season 30. July with the 22 teams that still have a chance to reach in the playoffs.
the Matches must be held in a large sports complex at walt Disney World just outside of Orlando in the u.s. state of Florida.
