Rockets' Tilman Fertitta Confident NBA Bubble Can Work

CNBC’s Tyler Mathisen today asked Rockets Owner Tilman Fertitta if “this bubble thing is going to work in Orlando?” Feritta: “The NBA has devised an unbelievable plan, and they’re being very strict about it. ... In (the) first week with 400 players there, only two have tested positive inside the bubble." Fertitta added, "If the players respect the bubble, this is going to work. If the players stop respecting the bubble, then it's not going to work. ... But I understand if the players don't want to do it. It’s their decision, and as long as they want to do it, I think it’s going to be great and it is going to work, and I do think you'll have an NBA champion. If the bubble breaks, we're done” (“Power Lunch,” CNBC, 7/14).
