Toronto Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa has entered health and safety protocols after a close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
The Raptors are abiding by a Toronto Public Health directive to self-isolate for 10 days after a potential exposure. Under NBA health and safety protocols, Achiuwa would have been eligible to play due to his negative tests for the virus.
The news comes three days after Raptors president and vice-chairman Masai Ujiri announced he’d tested positive for the virus. The Raptors cancelled practice on Thursday out of an abundance of caution.
The Raptors, who host Sacramento on Monday to cap their season-long seven-game homestand, are 100 per cent vaccinated, and continue to test negative for COVID-19.
