NBA team personnel are expected to be asked to submit personal medical histories to a panel of physicians who would review their individual risk of serious illness due to the potential spread of COVID-19.

One of the factors is establishing risk for advanced age as Alvin Gentry , Mike D'Antoni and Gregg Popovich are over 65.

Personnel are expected to begin an evaluation process by submitting medical information to their individual team doctors, who will then share that with at least one more non-team affiliated physician before a recommendation would be rendered.

Legal experts consulted by ESPN, including a top attorney in the Miami office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, agreed unanimously the NBA could not exclude any personnel from participating in Orlando solely on the basis of age.

The NBA subjecting all team personnel, regardless of age, to a medical review may not make it any easier for them to unilaterally bar anyone from attending in Orlando.

Such personnel could come from among all ages and job descriptions -- including players, should the NBA require the same sort of medical review for them.
