It looks like there is good news for the Flyers and Sixers.
Early Tuesday morning, Phil Murphy, New Jersey’s governor, gave a promising announcement regarding sports in the state.
Professional sports teams in NJ may return to training and even competition — if their leagues choose to move in that direction. We have been in constant discussions with teams about necessary protocols to protect the health and safety of players, coaches, and personnel.
