The league's move to reopen facilities doesn't mean the season is starting anytime soon, according to ESPN's sources. The NBA also canceled the New Orleans Pelicans-Sacramento Kings game that night, and the season was suspended shortly thereafter. "The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic," the league said in a statement.

Thursday the NFL draft starts and the league has some tech issues to work out. Hereโs how the Texans are preparing.
HOUSTON โ Finally we will have a legitimate sports event to follow later this week when the NFL holds its annual draft. I did a Facebook Live this week and talked about the technology that will be a big part of the NFL Draft. Did I mention this NFL Virtual draft will be done from the homes of all involved with the league and each team? โI donโt know if I would call it a concern, I would say just making sure that your cell phone works. Weโre going to have a mock draft early next week, so each team will be able to kind of walk through it, rehearse it.
