The NBA and the NBPA, the union that represents the league’s players, agreed to a new set of health and safety protocols over the next two weeks to help the league navigate through a wave of game postponements because of positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing.
The NBA has postponed four games since Sunday due to the increase positive tests and contact tracing.
The league is mandating players and team staff follow strict regulations while in home markets, prohibiting them to leave their residences except for “team-related activities at the team facility or arena, exercise outside, or [to] perform essential activities, or as a result of extraordinary circumstances.
