Chinese Basketball Association has told American players to plan to return as early as this weekend and prepare for the league to resume in early April. But it's not clear if the players will comply.
Approximately 40 Americans -- including former NBA players Jeremy Lin, Lance Stephenson, Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson -- are under contract with the 20 teams that make up the Chinese Basketball Association. Most foreign players were sent home over the Lunar New Year holiday in late January, with instructions to prepare to return in mid- to late February.
As positive signs have emerged in China in recent weeks regarding containment of the virus, CBA team officials are discussing several formats for how to resume play, sources told ESPN, including hosting all 20 teams in one or two cities and playing a truncated regular season and playoff schedule, without fans.
American players have been informed that they will be required to spend 14 days in quarantine upon return to China, sources told ESPN, although details remain sparse regarding where and how that process would be conducted.
