Since the NBA 2019\2020 season has been temporarily put on hold, Chris Paul, who is the NBPA president shared his hopes to get back on the basketball court, speaking on behalf of his teammates, he explained:

"We want to play bad. I think that's the consensus. We want it to be obviously as safe as possible, but we miss the game."

Chris told PEOPLE that he enjoyed the first two weeks of being on lockdown because it gave him a much-needed break from his busy schedule so he could spend time with his family.

However, as time progressed he admitted to confiding in his wife Jada Paul about his desire to play again, he said, "I told her, I said, 'Babe, I miss it. Like I miss playing basketball like I need to play basketball.' And she looked at me and said, 'I miss watching you play.'"
