Commissioner Adam Silver will not attend Game 5 of the Finals tonight due to the NBA’s Health & Safety Protocols, sources told ESPN.

The similar issues happened for other basketball people during the NBA Finals as well.

Longtime announcer Mike Breen who typically calls the Finals and other big NBA games for ABC and ESPN, missed Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals and came back to Game 3 as the lead announcer after being sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols.

Moreover, former NBA head coach and current analyst Jeff Van Gundy was also out for the start of the NBA Finals with COVID but returned to Game 2.

The NBA Finals series between Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics is tied at 2-2.

Game 5 in the best-of-seven series will be played tonight in San Francisco.
