“It's insane.

I miss my family.

I speak for myself and on behalf of the coaches, including everyone who is here.

Sixty days without being able to bring my family here, it's criminal limit, ”said Malone, very upset against the NBA.

“Coach Mo is absolutely right!

It's ridiculous, ”tweeted LeBron James, the Lakers superstar also in the Western Conference semifinals, in response to a message on this social network from his teammate Jared Dudley who relayed Malone's comments.

After spending the Western Conference quarter-finals at the expense of the Utah Jazz, the Denver Nuggets were largely outscored 120-97 by the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of their semi-final series on Thursday.

Interrupted since March 11 because of the coronavirus, the NBA season resumed on July 30 in the Disney World bubble in Florida, with a slightly tightened and modified format.
