The Newsroom @Home: A conversation about the NBA’s future

On July 30th sports columnists and beat writers from the Bay Area News Group and Southern California News Group discussed the future for the NBA.

During this episode of our sports The Newsroom @Home series, our writers spoke about both the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers as they resume their championship pursuits, about the NBA bubble, the upcoming draft lottery, and whether the Golden State Warriors will return to the top next season when Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson return to action. The episode was moderated by Southern California News Group Executive Sports Editor Tom Moore and featured columnist Dieter Kurtenbach and Warriors writer Wes Goldberg from the Bay Area News Group and Lakers writer Kyle Goon and Clippers writer Mirjam Swanson from the Southern California News Group.

Lined up next is a conversation and tasting with Wente Vineyards on 8/21 at 4:00 PM. To register now click here.

What is The Newsroom @Home?

For the past year, we have been holding In Real Life events where readers get the chance to meet some of our journalists in person. Since this is not possible with limits on large gatherings and social distancing, we created The Newsroom @ Home to bring you discussions and insights virtually as we all figure out how to navigate the coronavirus pandemic.

Over the past few months, we have brought our readers discussions about restaurants in the Bay Area dealing with COVID-19, diving into the behind-the-scenes stories of how our photojournalists shot some of their favorite photos, a candid conversation with author Robin Sloan and more.
