As the NBA continues to ponder when the league will return to action amid the coronavirus outbreak, executives and trainers said Monday that the league is considering a “25-day return to basketball plan” if given safety clearance by health officials. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst made an appearance on Sportscenter Monday detailing the NBA’s idea to resume the regular season if certain criteria are met.

“What they’re looking at is a 25-day return to basketball window. Hopefully at some point they can enact it,” Windhorst said. “An 11-day series of individual workouts, where there’d be social distancing for a period of time, and then hopefully, if the clearance comes that they can play five-on-five basketball, a 14-day training camp.”

Commissioner Adam Silver previously stated that the league wouldn’t be able to make any decisions until May in a conversation with Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson on April 6.

“Essentially what I’ve told my folks over the last week is we should just accept that at least for the month of April we won’t be in a position to make any decision,” Silver said. “I don’t think that necessarily means on May 1st we will be, but at least I know, just to settle everyone down a little bit, it doesn’t mean internally – both the league, and in discussions with the teams and players – that we aren’t looking at many different scenarios for restarting the season. But I think it honestly is just too early given what’s happening right now to be even able to predict or project where we’ll be in a few weeks.”

Regardless of health officials’ recommendation of how long the NBA should be suspended, once the league is given clearance an additional 25-day plan will be executed before games can resume.

Get ready to get the tissues out. During the 36th annual Sports Emmy Awards show, Stuart Scott, the longtime ESPN host who passed away at the start of 2015, was honored for his work in the field. However, he was also up for Outstanding Sports Personality, where he was against Bob Costas, Rich Eisen, Keith Olbermann, Matt Vasgersian and Ernie Johnson.

Unfortunately, Scott did not win, as the award was given to the host of TNT’s Inside the NBA, Ernie Johnson. But the three-time winner did something during his acceptance speech that nobody could have expected. He called up Stuart Scott’s daughters, Taelor and Sydni, and gave them the award. “This belongs to Stuart Scott,” he told them. “This is your Emmy.”

Afterwards, Scott’s daughters delivered a short but sweet acceptance speech that honored their father. “And we just wanted to say how grateful we are to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and also Mr. Johnson for acknowledging our father in a way that we don’t understand the gravity of because he’s just our dad,” Taelor said. “We are honored to be here.”

“We also would like to thank our ESPN family for making sure we could be here on this special night,” Sydni added. “It means so much to us.”
