technically they haven't been exposed to other players

Once someone tests positive for the virus, the protocol lays out a several-step process that person will have to go through:

  • They will be placed in "Isolation Housing," which will be a house, hotel or other facility that is different from the individual's previous hotel room, at a location in which no individuals who have not tested positive are residing.

  • They will be administered a second COVID-19 test as soon as possible to guard against the possibility of a false positive. If that second test comes back positive, the person will remain in isolation housing.

  • If the second test comes back negative, a third test will be administered between 24 and 48 hours after the first test. If that test also comes back negative, the person will be allowed to reenter the NBA campus. If it comes back positive, the person will remain in isolation.
Once someone tests negative twice in a span of more than 24 hours, they will be allowed to leave isolation. However, though players will not be forced to be quarantined after that, they will have to wait for a two-week period -- either from the first positive test if the player remains asymptomatic or from the resolution of symptoms -- to pass before undergoing a cardiac screening. This is in accordance with the CDC's cardiac-screening guidelines.


Phase 2, which starts June 23, will have players being tested every other day, as well as the two days prior to when teams are scheduled to leave for Florida. Players' first test will be both a test for COVID-19 done via a shallow nasal swab and oral swab and an antibody test done via a blood draw. The COVID-19 test will be repeated every other day, and the antibody test will be repeated only if a player tests positive.



Once teams arrive in Orlando, players and staff will be isolated in their rooms until they have two negative PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests at least 24 hours apart, which means anywhere from 36 to 48 hours in the hotel rooms. After two negative tests, they will no longer have to quarantine.

^^that's the protocol they had setup t just in case something like this popped up. What shams reported sounds like they arrived with it but have basically been locked in their rooms the whole time since they didn't pass the quarantine period; therefore, haven't been around any other players




Thus, they prevented those two from contaminating the bubble.

How did they get to orlando? Bus or plane full of other players right? Not testing positive doesnt mean you arent contagious

These fools don't realize this shyt is airborne. There's a reason why the scientists are saying stay away from indoor gatherings. The NBA set up a bunch of courts in a banquet hall.

They should of installed them outside. Outdoor night games with the spot lights would've looked GOAT. Bring that street ball feel.

I'm not sure why they're trying to force shyt at this point...like this season isn't going to have an asterisk anyway. Might as well call it.
