He doesn’t know how, where or when, but Mavs’ Cuban confident NBA will resume season
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban acknowledged his prediction that the NBA could resume in May isn’t aging well.
Instead, he tempered expectations on when the season may start again, although he does believe there will be some semblance of a season rather than canceling it.
“I don’t know the date and it won’t happen until we can be absolutely certain everybody can be safe,” Cuban said on ESPN Wednesday. “It’s safety first, no ifs, ands or buts about it. I’ve been optimistic it could happen before the start of June but who knows now? So we listen to the scientists.”
But Cuban does feel there will be some sort of season whenever the game is cleared to resume.
“I don’t know how, where or when,” Cuban said, “But I do think we’ll have a season. It’s just too important to the United States of America. We need sports, we need something to rally behind.”
The NBA suspended its season on Mach 11.
