Inside stories from the Chinese Basketball Association's coronavirus-induced hiatus
It was late January, and Adam Tatalovich was in Istanbul. The Chinese Basketball Association was midway through its season, and the Lunar New Year celebration had given the assistant coach of the Guangzhou Loong Lions the time to take a long weekend trip. The CBA traditionally takes a few days off for the holiday. So, off to Turkey he went, and while he was a guest at Fenerbahce's practice, his phone buzzed."Don't come home," his CBA team's group chat said.

Japanese basketball league delayed again after 'chaotic' attempt to restart
The decision to continue or resume playing basketball internationally -- even without fans -- is causing concern and second-guessing in some places. In China, the CBA remains on track for an April 15 return, with approximately half of the Americans under contract already back in the country and under strict quarantine, including former NBA players Jeremy Lin, Ty Lawson, Donatas Motiejunas, Sonny Weems, Ekpe Udoh, Marshon Brooks, Jared Cunningham, Pooh Jeter, Kyle Fogg, Ray McCallum, Antonio Blakeney and Joe Young.

How the coronavirus pandemic is affecting boxing
With no fights, nobody is making any money -- not the boxers, promoters or managers. Not the sparring partners, gyms or trainers. It means venues have open dates beyond just those of their main tenants that have also been called off, broadcasters have holes in their schedules and fans have no live action to watch for the foreseeable future.
