Los Angeles Lakers ace player LeBron James on Thursday rubbished the reports stating some agents and team executives want the NBA to cancel the 2019-20 season.
Notably, the NBA remains suspended since March 12 after Utah’s Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.
“Saw some reports about execs and agents wanting to cancel season??? That’s absolutely not true,” said James, four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and three-time NBA champion.

“Nobody I know saying anything like that. As soon as it’s safe we would like to finish our season. I’m ready and our team is ready. Nobody should be canceling anything,” he clarified.
