The Oklahoma City Thunder will continue to play home games this season without fans in attendance. In an email to season ticket holders, the Thunder said they believe it's too soon to bring several thousand people back into the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The franchise also cited strict protocols affecting the quality of the fan experience as a reason for the decision.
17 of the NBA's 30 teams are either allowing reduced capacity at home games, or have plans to later this month.
