It’s weird around the NBA these days. Everything is weird and out of whack and ever changing.
Three different arenas for games, a dozen or so practice facilities, workouts that might begin at 10 a.m. one day and 5 p.m. the next. There are day games on weekdays — if anyone’s even sure what day of the week it is — and temperature checks, and medical questionnaires that need to be filled out daily, and testing every day.
Things are going to be forgotten or slip through the cracks, and a gentle reminder every now and then seems as necessary as it is important.
