The NBA has been working to make clear to players that the actual commitment of time to reside in the bubble in Orlando may be less daunting than originally perceived.

The NBA is planning to begin camps July 9-11. Teams will briefly quarantine before beginning formal training camps before regular-season games resume July 30.

Fourteen of the teams will be eliminated within 53 days of arriving and only four teams will remain after 67 days. The NBA expects the conference finals will end within a maximum of 82 days.

The six teams eliminated after eight regular-season games and a possible play-in tournament for the No. 8 seed would leave Orlando within 35 to 40 days.

Carmelo Anthony addressed the uncertainty many players are facing in comments to Ernie Johnson.

"As far as actually playing ... I'm still up in the air a little bit because we don't have all the details," said Anthony. "We don't know a lot of information, so until we have that, it's kind of hard to just commit to it 100 percent."
