The worldwide spread of the coronavirus has put a damper on the sports world. While many professional leagues have been stalled in order to prevent further spread of the COVID-19 virus, commissioners are starting to think outside the box as to how they can provide entertainment for fans.

Amid the temporary hiatus, The Big 3 plans on launching a three-on-three quarantined basketball tournament in April for people to get their in sport fix, but they've added quite the spin to things.

The tournament is expected to featured 16-22 players who have tested negative for COVID-19. The players, which could include the likes of former NBA standouts Joe Johnson, Greg Oden and Zach Randolph among others, would have their daily lives captured on camera.

In order to ensure none of the participants are exposed to the coronavirus, they will be quarantined throughout the duration of the tournament. Players will be placed in a large home in Los Angeles that have their own basketball facility.

There will be seven rounds of games and teams will reshuffle after the first round. When a player loses three games they will be eliminated from the tournament.

If a player were to ever break the quarantine, they would be disqualified from the tournament and immediately removed from the premise.

Leave it to Ice Cube and the Big 3 to find creative ways to use their platform to keep the fan base satisfied while games aren't able to be played.
