The Kings finally got some good news Friday, as Harrison Barnes has cleared coronavirus protocol and is on his way to join the team in Orlando.
Barnes will have to self-quarantine once he arrives in the bubble and produce two negative coronavirus tests before he is able to practice. Even then, Barnes likely hasn’t been working out, at least not at full strength, since contracting the virus, and he certainly has not been able to play 5-on-5. As a result, it could take him some time to get back to game shape, though head coach Luke Walton isn’t overly concerned about Barnes’ physical fitness considering how Barnes looked when the players first reported to Sacramento in June.
