aren't alone. the florida education administration is now also suing state and local officials saying in their suit opening without the proper plan, resources and safety precautions inevitably will exacerbate the spread of the virus, jeopardize public health and ultimately cause longer closures. >> once it's falling and we have the resources to safeguard our school families then and only then should students return to brick and mortar schools. >> reporter: in a press conference monday governor ron desantis said accommodations should be made for students and concerned teachers as needed. >> look, these are unique circumstances. let's be flexible. >> reporter: hammond and bellafore's attorney said it's not that simple. >> the constitution guarantees employees a safe place to work and children have a safe place to go and both these things need to be addressed. >> reporter: now, the florida education commissioner tells us that the emergency order simply creates options so that families can decide what's best.

love and also just making it a safe environment and a lot of unknown times. >> and, matisse, we know it's a strange world you're living in. a lot of rules and precautions in place, but let's be honest, it's got to feel great to get back to playing basketball with your team, right? >> yeah, i mean, i -- for me it was like three months, right, literally couldn't play. i live in an apartment building and i didn't have access to a gym. to have that opportunity back is honestly a blessing? >> now back with your teammates playing in the bubble. does it feel a little like summer camp? >> yeah, the way i describe it, you know how in high school no one loves waking up early going to class and all the homework and stuff, but you're all kind of in it together so you just make it the most of it. that's the situation we find ourselves in. >> give us a sense of your day-to-day, if you're not working out together do you get to hang out together? are you watching video games, eating together? >> we have a pretty cool --

but we have to ask you finally, are we going to see the 76ers in the finals when the season resumes? >> i think we have a great chance. i think that the whole quarantine, everyone having the quarantine kind of leveled out the playing field, and i think this is going to be a great opportunity for us and our guys to step in and make a run. >> well, good luck to you. good luck to the rest of your team. really appreciate your time and for taking us inside of the bubble giving us a glimpse of what life is like for you guys. >> no problem. thank you guys for having me. >> of course, and you can watch a new episode of "inside the bubble" on matisse's youtube channel right now. coming up -- the irish dancer taking over the internet and defying

welcome back. this is a tough morning for us at "gma." one of our stars, daisha riley, a young and talented producer suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. she rose through the ranks over the years on our show working on

stories that have made so many of you, our viewers, smile and tear up. her legacy lives on in a powerful voice she shared through storytelling. you might not have known daisha riley's name but if you watched "gma" for the past 14 years, trust us, you saw her incredible work because daisha loved nothing more than telling america a story. daisha riley could write a breaking news piece with lightning speed. on features she could make you cry with her exquisite choice of words and when amy interviewed the cast of "game of thrones," you'd better believe that daisha made sure that set actually had a throne to make the actors' jaws drop. >> nice set. >> thank you. > well done, gents and ladies. >> as one colleague said daisha had grit and grace, she took pride in her work and she fought for it because to daisha there was no greater privilege than helping you at home start your day. and trust us when we say that for all of us at "gma" there was no greater privilege than

knowing daisha riley. she was never the loudest voice in the room, but she was always the smartest, funny and brilliant and above all, kind. quick with the smile and a kitten meme just when you needed it most. no, you might not have known daisha riley's name before today, but now you do. a world-class producer, a pillar of "gma" and a friend to us all. and she was beloved by all of us here. her smile lit up a room. her talents not just recognized by our team but journalists across the board and she won multiple emmys for her incredible work and it's just -- it's hard for us and difficult to even wrap our heads around this but we can't express how much we're going to miss her. we are thinking about her family and her fiance tyrone this morning. >> i found some emails that she sent to me recently on stories that we were working on. from a perspective of correspondent in the field it

always brought me comfort and confidence knowing that she was on the story with us. >> she really was one of the best. you mentioned her voice, i think of being on the phone with daisha so many times as we would work on pieces and she had the sweetest voice. she was known for this sweet voice but she really was a light on this team and we want america to know that. but we especially want daisha's fiance and her family to know that we love her and we will miss her very much. >> she always brought the best. we'll be right back. brought the best. we'll be right back.
