This NBA season could be metaphorically described as one of the worst rollercoaster rides ever. With COVID-19 still ravaging through the league, the NBA’s spotty handling of safety and precautions for its players, and the decision to put profits over health by going through with an All-Star Weekend, it’s been at times a deeply unenjoyable experience. And it’s set to continue on.
For the Raptors, who had so far dodged COVID-19, the team got their first virus scare just this past Friday. As reported, six members of their coaching staff and Pascal Siakam were forced to sit out as per the league’s health and safety protocols.
