A little OT but speaking of Toronto, when I was up there for my birthday last year it just happened to be around the Finals. GF and I had gone to Ripley's Aquarium for the day and as we left to go have lunch in the restaurant atop the CN Tower we saw a whole bunch of people in NBA shirts and a line around a big trailer thing. Turns out as part of the local fan events they were letting people take photos with the actual NBA trophy. I had the staff laughing when I said I wanted to do it because it was the closest a New Yorker would ever get to that trophy again. (I didn't know this before that day but Tiffany's makes the trophy!)

My husband just asked if Robin Lopez posted that picture on the Disboards when I showed him

Maybe he really is one of us

The Lopez brothers are true Disney fans.

IG user: put your mask on!
Dwight: I'm not near anyone


... other than the two CMs he showed in the video seconds earlier!!!!!


Also the twitter comments say he was supposed to still be quarantined in his room for 1 more day due to not using the bubble transport.

Going well!

According to the Lakers, his absence from team practice had nothing to do with when he arrived, but how he arrived. If he got the extra test earlier in the day and put in his 48 hour quarantine time, he should be allowed to leave his room. Nowhere does it state he arrived later than the team on the flight. Only that he needed an extra test.

“To clarify on the Lakers’ testing situation, Dwight Howard needs an extra test because he did not travel with the team so that’s why he was not available today. Danny Green’s test had an error and there should be more clarity on his situation later tonight,” she wrote.

The players have been tested every other day since June 23 which was two weeks prior to arriving in the bubble. They were also tested two days prior to arrival in Orlando and upon arrival at their resort. Here is a very detailed article about the testing and quarantine protocols:

Sorry, but if he got there by his own transport outside of the bubble and then was only required to isolate 48 hrs, he should be tested daily, OR quarantine for a full 14 days.

 

[Marthasor]

None.

They aren't just arriving in Orlando and quarantining for 48 hours. There have very strict testing and quarantine protocols:

Phase 2, which starts June 23, will have players being tested every other day, as well as the two days prior to when teams are scheduled to leave for Florida. Players' first test will be both a test for COVID-19 done via a shallow nasal swab and oral swab and an antibody test done via a blood draw. The COVID-19 test will be repeated every other day, and the antibody test will be repeated only if a player tests positive.

During Phase 3, which will be July 1-11, players will begin mandatory individual workouts at team facilities. Group workouts will remain prohibited, though the number of players allowed in a facility at one time will increase from four to eight. Head coaches will be allowed to participate in and watch individual workouts.

Phase 4 was split into two parts: July 7-11, which includes the teams' travel to Walt Disney World and the period afterward when they will be quarantined, and July 9-21, which covers the practice time teams will have once players and staff complete their quarantine period.
During the first part, for a player to be allowed to travel to Florida with his team:

• He must have not tested positive for COVID-19 since league-wide testing began.
• If he tested positive, he must have satisfied the criteria for the discontinuation of quarantine.
• He must not have lived with anyone who has recently tested positive or exhibited symptoms associated with COVID-19.

Any player who fails to meet those standards will have to have arrangements to travel to Florida made by his team once he is cleared to do so.

Once teams arrive in Orlando, players and staff will be isolated in their rooms until they have two negative PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests at least 24 hours apart, which means anywhere from 36 to 48 hours in the hotel rooms. After two negative tests, they will no longer have to quarantine.

Players will have the option to wear a "proximity alarm" that will notify them if they spend more than five seconds within 6 feet of another person on campus who is wearing an alarm. This is optional for players and possibly referees; it will be mandatory for all team and league staff members.

Players also will be allowed to wear a smart ring that could help with early detection of COVID-19. The rings will track temperature, respiratory and heart rate, among other measurements.

Once all players and staff have two negative tests, group workouts will be permitted. The league will continue to conduct COVID-19 tests, along with daily temperature checks, symptom surveys and use of a finger-clip device to measure oxygen levels. The testing could be as often as every day, with the protocol saying that the frequency will be based on the results of the tests.

After players have been cleared from quarantine, they will be allowed to socialize with players residing in the same hotel through July 21. From July 22 through the end of the playoffs, players will be allowed to spend time with any other player.

During Phase 5 (July 22-29), teams will play three scrimmages against other teams in the same hotel. Phase 6 covers the time teams will be playing in seeding and playoff games. Once teams are eliminated, players will be required to pass a COVID-19 test within 24 hours of their scheduled departures.

Please read the article or do some research on the 100 page document that outlines the very stringent testing and quarantine protocols that are in place for the players. He isn't just isolating for 48 hours. If you had actually read what I posted, you would see that he had to take an EXTRA test because he arrived via different transportation from the team. Based on protocol, he may very well be tested every day.
