Still, the association and relationship that fans have with sport, and their favorite teams, cannot be ignored. So often, in times of distress or trouble, sports act as an outlet for people to get away from the challenges of life. Like so many other forms of entertainment, sport can act as a crucial form of escapism, yet in this situation it has become essential that even sport halts for the greater good.
What that won’t do is stop fans from thinking about their favorite sports, particularly as the prospect of a potential return down the line would also seem like the kind of event that could signify some kind of return to normality.
At present, that kind of resolution seems a long way away, but there’s no doubt that hardcore Milwaukee Bucks fans will be spending time reflecting on what had been a fantastic season up until this point, and the prospect that it could resume at some point.
With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at what could come next as the Milwaukee Bucks and the NBA as a whole look to deal with this continually evolving situation.
