Report: NBA will use law enforcement, former special forces to secure bubble

The NBA will use a combination of local, state, and federal law enforcement, plus former special operations forces to secure its restart bubble near Orlando, sources told ESPN's Tim Bontemps.

NBA locations in the bubble will also reportedly feature secured perimeters, technological security deployments, and a "fusion center" approach to threat intelligence.

Teams are scheduled to begin camps inside the bubble on the Walt Disney World Resort property July 9. The bubble will be closed to outsiders amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

As it currently stands, players' families are not permitted inside the bubble until the completion of the first round of the playoffs, after several teams have left the compound. However, certain teams and coaches have reportedly been lobbying the league to loosen those restrictions.
