Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes broke quarantine at the NBA's complex near Orlando and was ordered to self-quarantine in his hotel room 10 days before resuming team activities, the league announced Monday.
Holmes, a former standout at Bowling Green State University, posted a statement on his Twitter feed that read, “After the initial quarantine period, I briefly and accidentally crossed the NBA campus line to pick up a food delivery. I am currently in quarantine and have eight days left. I apologize for my actions and look forward to joining my teammates for our playoff push.”
The NBA mandated personnel to stay in their rooms last week until testing negative for coronavirus each of the two days immediately after their arrival, with the policy attempting to ensure that everyone who enters the bubble is free of the virus before they can interact with others.
