NBA players have given fans a peek into their bubble environment at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, which will host the rest of a 2019-20 NBA season that has been suspended since March 11 due to the pandemic of COVID-19.
Orlando’s magic guard Terrence Ross joined the fray on Thursday by showing fans a game room:

The room features arcade games, large-screen televisions and a ping-pong table where double matches are prohibited, according to the league’s health and safety manual for restarting the league.
The table was still ready for double play with two pallets on each side, but the room seems like a comfortable place to relax if they wish.
At least, the quality of the gaming room would seem to outweigh the first meals received by NBA players in Florida, with Utah Jazz striker Joe Ingles providing a notable example.

The Magic are at Grand Floridian, one of three resorts that host a total of 22 NBA teams completing the campaign. The Torre del Gran Destino in Coronado Springs and the Yacht Club are the other two.
Regular season games will officially begin on Thursday July 30 when Utah Jazz will face New Orleans’ pelicans at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, which will host all remaining games in three different venues. The teams will train and play scrimmage games in the weeks preceding the restart of the normal season.
