NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Monday he is confident that the league's health and safety protocols will allow teams to get through the season even as the coronavirus pandemic continues. Silver spoke on the eve of the season-opening doubleheader - Golden State visiting Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Clippers playing against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers - and warned that he does not expect this season to go as smoothly as the games did last summer in the restart bubble at Walt Disney World. ''We do anticipate that there will be bumps in the road along the way,'' Silver said.
