The NBA has created a basketball bubble at ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando but with the number of coronavirus cases growing rapidly- could the bubble burst?

Several NBA teams traveled to Florida on Tuesday and now NBA commissioner Adam Silver is expressing concern. In a virtual interview with Fortune Brainstorm Health, Silver said the NBA expects to see more positive COVID-19 cases as teams arrive at the NBA campus. Once teams do arrive on campus, all personnel will be tested and must quarantine for at least 2 days.

Silver went on to say, "What would be most concerning is once players enter this campus and then go through our quarantine period, then if they were to test positive or if we were to have any positive tests, we would know we would have an issue."

Although the NBA campus is, "as protected as possible from the environment around us." If they find a hole in the system, well then the NBA Bubble might pop.
