Movie nights, card games, DJ sets and COVID-19 tests will be part of the NBA's return to play, according to a memo the league sent to teams Tuesday.
If the NBA season resumes it will do so in Orlando in a near-quarantine environment, but plenty of uncertainty remains. A look at which teams that might favor and why.In the event of a positive test, the person will go to isolated housing, where a second test will be performed as soon as possible. If the positive is confirmed, the person will remain isolated until they meet a series of requirements, including multiple negative tests.
Failure to comply with the protocols could result in a player receiving a warning, a fine, a suspension or even expulsion from the campus.There has been growing dissent among some players about the logistics of the “bubble” and the timing of the return to play. Brooklyn star Kyrie Irving has advocated for players to consider not playing, using the time to focus on societal reforms against police brutality and racial inequality.
Once in Orlando, players and staff will be subject to an in-room quarantine for about 36 hours. There will be daily testing, but it will not involve deep nasal swabs. While residing on campus, everyone must wear face coverings except during meals, in individual rooms or when outside. During games, players, first-row coaches and referees will not be required to wear masks. People will be required to maintain at least six feet of distance during recreational activity. No one will be allowed to enter a hotel room other than their own.
Players who leave the campus without approval will be required to quarantine for 10 days without game pay. Players allowed to leave for extenuating circumstances could face a four-day quarantine upon return. The NBA is working to set up a medical clinic that would include X-ray and MRI machines.
