Here is the 113 Page NBA Rule Book for Their July Return

• The league says it will make socially distant recreational activities available for players. Per the handbook: “Such activities are expected to include the provision of a game room or player lounge at each hotel (e.g., Ping-Pong, “NBA2K,” pool, dominoes, etc.), golf, swimming, fishing, the potential for other water sports, movie screenings, concerts, running trails, bike rides, and other excursions.”

• Since physical distancing is difficult while playing cards, the N.B.A. specifically says players must wear face masks if they choose to play, say, poker. They must throw away the deck of cards after the game has concluded.

• No caddies on the golf course.

• No sharing goggles or snorkels in the swimming pool.

• There will be a bonus of sorts for teams that survive the first round of the playoffs: guests. Each team that advances into the conference semifinals will have the option of reserving up to 17 additional hotel rooms for invited guests, and those guests can be anyone — spouses, children, friends, massage therapists — provided they fulfill a litany of “participation requirements” that range from signing waivers to undergoing rigid testing protocols. They must also quarantine both before and after arriving on campus.

• And then there is the tip line: The league says it will encourage anyone on campus to report violations of any of the protocols via an anonymous hotline. Players will also be allowed to report potential violations through their teams or the players’ association. Violations, of course, are a big no-no, which could lead to disciplinary action.
