NBA to allow some training facilities to reopen on May 8

The state of play: Under the new guidance, teams whose facilities aren't bound by state or local stay-at-home orders would be able to open their practice facilities to players for workouts or treatment on a voluntary, individual basis.

• The league will work to find "alternatives" for teams that are under more stringent government restrictions.
• The NBA said it can push back the date "if developments warrant."

The league is placing restrictions on those teams that do begin practicing May 8:

• No more than four players would be permitted at a facility at any one time. 
• No head or assistant coaches could participate.
• Group activity remains prohibited, including practices or scrimmages.
• Players remain prohibited from using non-team facilities such as public health clubs, fitness centers or gyms.
