Before the Dallas Mavericks left town on Tuesday to fly to Charlotte in preparations for Wednesday’s preseason game against the Hornets, coach Jason Kidd was asked about the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
“We’ll follow the NBA protocols,” Kidd said. “For example, tonight when we get into Charlotte the guys will have a team dinner, which is cool, and then we’ll go from there.
“And then when we get to Milwaukee (where the Mavs play on Friday), we’ll hopefully have something scheduled. But we’ll follow the protocols and try to remain safe.”
Last year the Mavs had seven plyers miss a total of 56 games under the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
