The CoronaVirus has officially hit Oregon, and the NBA sent a memo to all the teams with some advices regarding the situation.
In the memo, the NBA suggests players choose fist-bumps over high-fives and avoid taking items such as pens, balls and jerseys to autograph.
Since this is happening, there is a chance that pre-draft combines, on-site workouts and international scouting events could be cancelled.
"The coronavirus remains a situation with the potential to change rapidly," the league told teams in the memo.
The Trail Blazers' Guard C.J. McCollum tweeted over the weekend about the need to take precautions and that he was taking a break from signing autographs for now.
The Corona Virus has officially hit Oregon. More specifically Lake Oswego...Make sure y’all washing y’all hands with soap for 20 or more seconds & covering ya mouths when you cough. I am officially taking a break from signing autographs until further notice.
