Report: NBA warns teams it will punish players for not wearing masks

The NBA wants its players to know there will be consequences for not wearing masks. The league reportedly reached out to teams Sunday to re-emphasize the importance of wearing masks in the bubble, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.

The NBA reportedly reminded teams it will punish players who are in violation of mask-wearing protocol. If a player earns repeated violations, it could lead to that player being removed from the bubble, according to Stein.

Teams were also reminded today that penalties for non-compliance on mask wearing at the NBA Bubble range from warnings to fines, suspensions and potentially even removal from campus, @NYTSports has learned .
