The New York Knicks, Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers were the three teams to express reservations on eliminating fans from games without receiving a formal government mandate to do so during a conference call of the NBA Board of Governors on Wednesday.

Several teams were willing to put games on hiatus, but the rest wanted to move toward eliminating fans from arenas in order to continue playing games. 

The Rockets were more amenable to pausing the season for three to four weeks and were less enthusiastic about the idea of playing games in the short-term without fans in attendance. 

The NBA decided to suspend the season indefinitely after Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday evening.

Jeremy Lamb underwent successful surgery Wednesday in New York City to repair a torn left anterior cruciate ligament and a torn lateral meniscus.

Lamb will be out indefinitely.

The injury occurred during the Pacers’ game at Toronto, Feb. 23.

Lance Stephenson is in serious discussions over a potential deal with the Indiana Pacers, sources told Sham Charania of The Athletic.

Charania adds that no agreement has been finalized.

Stephenson would need clearance from the Liaoning Flying Leopards and FIBA to complete the signing. 

Malcolm Brogdon has been listed as week-to-week after suffering a leg injury.

Brogdon has a torn left rectus femoris according to team reports.

Brogdon is averaging 16.3 points and 7.1 assists on the season.
