冠状病毒大流行给2019-2020 NBA赛季蒙上了一层阴影。今年剩下的时间很可能是受疾病的摆布，这就是为什么多伦多猛龙队主席乌日里说，联赛必须“按规则比赛”，并遵循公共卫生官员的建议（通过体育界的埃里克·科林）：
我希望（这个赛季可以挽救）。这就是我们的全部希望。我们热爱我们的比赛，热爱我们的工作，乌日里说。老实说，现在，我认为挽救NBA赛季的方法是遵守规则，尽我们所能，尽我们所能，尽我们所能，作为一个人，作为一个社区，尽我们所能。这与NBA、NBA球员、NBA球迷无关。它关乎整个世界。这是一个全球性的打击。这不是只发生在世界一个地区的地震，也不是只发生在世界另一个地区的疾病，也不是海啸——请原谅我提到了所有这些事情。但这正在影响整个世界。我们可以随心所欲地计划NBA，并且（希望）它能回来。因为它影响到整个世界，如果我们不按规则行事，事情就会以这种或那种方式停滞不前
如果猛龙队失去了卫冕的机会，那就太可惜了。
多伦多是一个让人感觉很好的赛季，尽管失去了卡维莱昂纳德，他们在前64场比赛中赢了46场。
猛龙队在东部联盟的战绩排名第二，他们的平衡和连贯性很可能使他们成为密尔沃基雄鹿队最顽强的竞争对手之一。

Raptors’ Masai Ujiri speaks out on how the NBA can salvage the 2019-20 season
原文：
The coronavirus pandemic has cast a large shadow over the 2019-2020 NBA season. The remainder of the year is likely at the mercy of the illness, which is why Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri said it is imperative the league “play by the rules” and follow the advice of public health officials (via Eric Koreen of The Athletic):
âIâm hoping (the season can be salvaged). Thatâs all of our hope. We love our game and we love what we do,â Ujiri said. âHonestly, for now, I think (the way) we salvage the NBA season is by abiding by the rules and doing everything that we have to do as people, as a community, everything we possibly can. This is not about the NBA, NBA players, NBA fans. Itâs about the whole world. This is something that hit globally. This is not an earthquake that hit in only one part of the world or a disease that is only in another part of the world or a tsunami â pardon me for mentioning all of these things. But this is affecting the whole world. We can want to plan the NBA all we want, and (want) it to come back all we want. Because it affects the whole world, something is going to stall that one way or the other, if we have not played by the rules.â
It would be a shame for the Raptors to lose out on an opportunity to defend their title.
Toronto had been one of the feel-good stories of the year, winning 46 of their first 64 games in spite of the loss of Kawhi Leonard.
The Raptors had the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, and their balance and consistency likely would have made them among the toughest competitors for the Milwaukee Bucks.
