NBA allows facilities to open for players but Chesapeake Arena remains closed

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Today, May 8th, was the day the NBA said teams could open up facilities to players. The Oklahoma City Thunder had no change as their facility remained closed.

The team is referring to a quote general manger Sam Presti gave when asked if the team would open the facilities today.

"I wouldn't say we're committed to doing that," Presti said when asked about opening up the facility.

The NBA has said teams could open up May 8th with some safety requirements like no more than four players at a time in the facility. One staff member can be present but not the head coach or first row assistant coach.

The physical distance of 12 feet must be maintained and temperatures must be taken for anyone who enters the facility.
