Pretty pessimistic about it. The euphoria is gone now. It is what it is. Maybe it'll be exciting... maybe not. But I do not have high hopes.
Adam Silver himself has questions about actually finishing the Invitational
The problem is that its pretty tough to ask people to seal themselves off from the rest of the world for 2-3 months....all it takes is a couple of people to break the bubble and introduce the virus to stop play.

The problem is that it isn’t a bubble, Florida residents who work at Disney will be coming and going daily. I would be more worried about them than other players. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

And it only takes one case for the entire thing to be shut down again. Just doesn’t seem realistic. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

As time goes on, when I see Florida struggling, hear from current and former athletes who don’t trust their peers, and factor human nature to be independent, I would be surprised if there is no champ. I’m expecting and watching for the interruption and realization that some things can’t and shouldn’t be rushed.

Shutting back down is a possibility, but it will take more than one case. Silver and league execs have repeatedly said that they expect someone to get COVID.

I think the key will be if one person getS it In a team, will that lead to 2 or3 others getting it. If it does, it means their measures to eliminate spread aren’t working.
Like aT my work which is a medical facility. A worker tested positive but no one else did. This means the measures my company used to reduce spread are at least to other workers are working.
Hard to say if the worker got it from a patient or elsewhere.
