SHANGHAI -- China's top professional basketball league will restart on Saturday in a "bubble" format without spectators, giving fans something to cheer as they await news of whether NBA games in the U.S. will return to Chinese screens.
Suspended halfway through the 2019/20 season on Jan. 24 because of the novel coronavirus outbreak, the China Basketball Association will be the first professional sports league in China to resume play albeit on a shorter schedule and with strict health protocols.
