‘A return to normalcy’: Under new guidelines, Nets return to Sunset Park practice facility
'We want people to be able to watch sports,' says Cuomo
The long road back to some sense of normalcy for the Brooklyn Nets began Tuesday when the team re-opened its HSS Training Center in Sunset Park for voluntary player workouts.
Idle due to the coronavirus pandemic since pulling off a thrilling 104-102 victory in Los Angeles against LeBron James and the Lakers on March 10, the Nets can now gather in small groups while following social distancing guidelines and turn their attention back to the yet-to-be-completed 2020-21 season.
“The organization will strictly follow the protocols outlined by the NBA and infectious disease experts to ensure that all precautions are taken in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment for players and staff,” the Nets said in a team-issued release Sunday.
