Count me as one concerned about the future of the 2020-21 NBA season. But the league apparently has no such concerns - at least yet.

ESPN Sources: While the Celtics-Heat game has been postponed tonight, the NBA has no plans to pause the season despite thinning rosters because of COVID-19 protocols in several places.
