The NBA's shutdown was so raw that teams didn't have time to prepare for it and were forced to adapt on the fly.

Once the equipment was sent to the players, the coaches developed personalized training plans for each player. They are divided into groups such as "younger development guys," "veteran guys," and "high-minute guys" to determine the overall framework for each. Then it further individualizes each shot based on what the player needs to work on their equipment and environment.

At first, they helped each player locate football tracks and fields near their homes. Each training takes into account what the player has access to.

The teams also tried to help their players stay motivated. The Kings did team-wide workouts on FaceTime.

Training alone for too long can be painful. But when you have people around you, it helps time pass faster.

The Kings transmit their workouts to players on a platform called Teambuildr, a remote training site that can be programmed, and progress can be tracked. The site says half a dozen NBA teams and some MLB, NHL, and NFL teams use its technology.

Hector continues to work on him, mainly on his endurance. He is lucky to have a basketball court close to his home.

He has grown and gained weight during this period and is getting used to his new build. He is now 2m18 tall and weighs 108 kilos. He raised 3cm and gained 3 kilos. The goal is to reach 113 kg at the beginning of next season without losing his explosiveness or relaxation. This is only possible with a program followed by a letter.

In a document posted on the league's Twitter account, Adam Silver said no decision on restarting the season would be made until May 1 at the bare minimum.

The only good news is that NBA players can return to their teams' training facilities if their local governors don't have a stay-at-home order.

All training would be voluntary and limited to individual sessions only. Group training is not allowed, and teams still need to be allowed to hold in-person training.

This decision does not mean that a resumption of games is imminent. Still, deciding to let crews return to the facility is an important step.

On May 1, Adam Silver admitted that a decision might not be made, which could come much later.

He stressed that the recovery could only be achieved with the approval of public health authorities. He mentioned three scenarios. "One, play matches in the presence of spectators as much as possible. Two, play them behind closed doors. Three, organize an exhibition game where a handful of players would compete, perhaps for a fundraiser or just for the good of the people."

He added that the league is looking into whether there is a protocol for some players to be tested for coronavirus and isolated enough to play safely to entertain fans at home, deprived of sports on television.

The suspension is estimated to cost several hundred million dollars in lost revenue from lost advertising and ticket sales.

With most arena events canceled, downstream workers lost income from unused tickets. Some have even lost their jobs. The Kings, like most teams, decided to pay the salaries of employees impacted by the suspension.
