NBA owners and executives increasingly believe that a best case scenario for the league to return to play is sometime in mid-to-late June, reported Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Wojnarowski adds that the league is scouting possible arena dates through August.

The CDC recently recommended that no events of over 50 people be held for the next two months. 

"Our world has changed since Wednesday's [board of governors] call," one team president told ESPN. "The reality isn't lost on anyone right now."
