The Eight NBA Teams Not Invited To Orlando Are Requesting Ways To Keep Their Teams Active

For the eight teams that were not invited to resume the NBA season in Orlando, it comes with an added setback. Since the season ended on March 11th, and likely won't resume until December - January, teams that will not be a part of the new format will not have played a game for 9-10 months. Some are requesting special provisions from the league.

Most of these teams also have very young rosters, so they are asking for permission to have mini-summer leagues, training camps, and organized training activities throughout the summer. Teams with close geographical proximity have also suggested holding these activities together.

ESPN Sources: Fearful of setbacks in development of young players over months of inactivity, several teams left out of Orlando resumption have proposed ideas to NBA for regional mini-summer leagues, training camps and OTA's. https://t.co/yka9zZAFGI
