As the NBA reckons with the self-imposed suspension of its season due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Nuggets have implemented a 3-to-4-day self-quarantine policy where no players or staff are to use the team’s facilities, according to a source close to the situation.
There were no plans for Nuggets players to be tested for COVID-19 as of Thursday morning, according to the source, after the team traveled home from Dallas late Wednesday night. The Nuggets have tests available should the need arise.
The NBA sent a memo on Saturday that mandates its franchises have an arrangement with an infectious disease specialist available for consultations, a facility available for COVID-19 testing, and a plan to limit the number of staffers who come into close contact with the players.
