Fans are noticeably absent in the NBA bubble.

But just because they can’t physically be in the building, doesn’t mean they have to miss the action.

A way the Phoenix Suns are hoping to provide some sort of fan experience is through a virtual tailgate with some notable names.

In honor of the team’s NBA restart opener on Friday, fans can join Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and former Sun Rex Chapman virtually as Phoenix takes on the Washington Wizards.

In addition to the Wizards game, Suns fans can also attend virtual tailgates ahead of the team’s Dallas (Sunday), Indiana (Aug. 6) and Miami (Aug. 8) matchups.

That tip-off against the Wizards is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start you can also listen to on ESPN 620 AM.
