Woj also reported that NBA Players Association representatives are conducting informal surveys, asking players a simple yes-no question on whether they want the season to resume.

National Basketball Players Association regional representatives started texting NBA players today with a 'yes or no' question it says will be kept confidential: Do you want to try and play again this season? The union's trying to gauge broader sentiment of its 400-plus players.

This move is to get a broader consensus of the over 400 players in the NBA on how they feel about the current situation.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks lead their respective conferences in the team standings.

Some teams have already re-opened practice facilities while observing social distancing measures.
