The director of the Basketball Premier League addressed the Ministers of Sports and Health today (Thursday), with a proposal to allow the Premier League teams to continue training during the closure in the form of a 'bubble' similar to what was done at the NBA, when the bubble will be held at the Kfar HaMaccabiah Hotel.
The chairman of the league administration, Shmuel Frenkel, said: "We all hope that the upcoming closure will help the morbidity situation in the country and we accept the government's decision with understanding.
We are in direct contact with the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Health at all times in order to allow the league teams to continue training as consistently and orderly as possible, of course under clear guidelines and strict adherence to the rules.
"At the same time, we are also working on a clear plan for the team players in case they need to train independently, with the intention of keeping the teams as ready as possible so that we can return to full activity soon, upon completion of the closure.
"The league manager will not rest for a moment and will continue to push for basketball to return to activity, as it did the previous time, so we were one of the only leagues in Europe to return to play and reach a proper end to the season. Everyone who is in his house. "
