NBA star, LeBron James says he would refuse to play if the Los Angeles Lakers had to stage games behind closed doors because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The NBA asked teams to start preparing for the possibility of playing without fans in attendance.

In a memo obtained by ESPN, the NBA has also asked teams to identify "essential staff" in order to limit attendees. James says he ain’t playing if they do not have the fans in the crowd adding that is who he plays for.

He says he plays for his team-mates, for the fans and that is what it is all about.
