- According to the NBA's protocols, players who leave the Disney World campus will be quarantined and subjected to the more invasive nasal swab COVID-19 testing.
- The NBA world had plenty of jokes to make about Holmes' infraction.
The NBA was not kidding about its strict policies for leaving the Disney World "bubble."
On Monday, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes has to quarantine for 10 days after accidentally leaving the "campus" borders. Holmes was picking up a food delivery.
While few details were available about where Holmes went, how far off the campus he got, and what the order was, Holmes did issue a statement.
The NBA's health and safety protocols state: "No one will be stopped from leaving the campus. However, the expectation is that, to minimize the risk of COVID-19 exposure from surrounding community, players and team staff will not leave the campus (as defined below) absent extenuating circumstances ... and only with prior league approval for such extenuating circumstance."
Players who leave the campus are subjected to a 10-day quarantine and further COVID-19 testing. If a player had to miss games, they would be deducted pay, so Holmes is lucky to have crossed the line before games begin.
Holmes' mother appeared to be disappointed by the news.
The NBA world had plenty of jokes to make about Holmes' infraction.
NBA teams are expected to report violations of the league's protocols, but there is also a hotline for players and staff members to anonymously report violations.
