The NBA and NBPA announced two positive cases out of the 322 players that were tested for coronavirus (COVID-19) since teams began arriving in the bubble environment at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, on July 7.
While those players have since left the campus to quarantine in isolation, the 19 players that tested positive since July 1 will not be allowed to leave their home markets until clearing CDC and NBA guidelines for the bubble.
Although the league put an emphasis on establishing viable safety protocols for the players, commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged the impact that positive cases inside the bubble can have on the operation.
