The NBA has issued guidance on Saturday urging teams to be cautious and avoid crowded parties that might turn the Super Bowl into a Super-spreader of the coronavirus.
Players, coaches, and staff have been asked to party at their own home with family members, or otherwise, chose an outdoor celebration that observes the social distancing and face-covering measures.
Super Sunday will see five sportive events with teams from Washington, Utah, Boston, and Sacramento traveling to Charlotte, New York, Phoenix, and Los Angeles respectively to play their games.
The road teams will have to watch the Kansas City vs. Tampa Bay at their hotels in pre-arranged areas with only Covid-negative guests attending.
“I love watching it,” Wizards Coach Scott Brooks who hopes to be home from Charlotte by Super Bowl’s halftime said.
“I love being a part but this year is obviously different. It’s not like we’re going to have a Super Bowl party. I definitely like that atmosphere year to year and a lot of times if you do have it on the road you can have a big team activity and enjoy the game together. But this year is obviously different.”
