Bucks' Lasry Confident In Bubble Plan Amid Spike In Virus Cases

Bucks co-Owner Marc Lasry said he hopes the NBA can continue with its Orlando restart plan despite a spike in coronavirus cases in Florida. Lasry: “Nobody has got to go down there for at least a few weeks. ... We’re going to be in a bubble, so it’s going to be pretty enclosed. I think it should still be fine. In my opinion, I think it would be, but we’ll see what happens over the course of the next two weeks.” CNBC’s Scott Wapner asked, “All of your guys are unanimous in wanting to do it? You hear rumblings here and there about players who may be balking.” Lasry said “every single one of our guys is going to go down there,” but for “players who don’t want to go, I fully respect that.” Wapner: “We’ll follow; people are starving for sport” (“Fast Money Halftime Report,” CNBC, 6/24).
