          Excitement about the restart of the NBA season is building, despite the news that nine more players have tested positive for the coronavirus.

          The league is scheduled to return on July 30, and preparations are well underway in Orlando, Florida.

          Training camps will open on July 9, but teams have already begun practicing -- including the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans.

          And in baseball, the New York Yankees got to see their new ace, Gerrit Cole, on the mound. Other teams have also started returning the the field.
