After their season finale, Haynes reports teams will shower in designated rooms at the Coronado Springs Resort, receive a meal and be taken to the airport in a team bus.
Regular season bubble play is scheduled to wrap up on Aug. 14. Every team playing on that date has clinched a playoff berth, meaning all non-playoff teams will have played their final game of 2019-20 the day before on Aug. 13.
The NBA resumed its regular season just under two weeks ago on July 30 at Disney World in Orlando.
