While the world wrestles with the coronavirus pandemic, the three biggest U.S.-based sports leagues currently affected by the crisis are trying to figure out if, how and where games can be safely played again this year.
The NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball have some similar constraints: Public and player health are the most pressing issues and any decisions would have to come with widespread federal, state and local support.
But there are also individual challenges for each league, which have unique schedules and playing arrangements that could affect logistics.
All three have discussed the possibility of essentially quarantining their players in cities for long periods to play games in a safe environment.
