NBA nearing agreement with NBPA to lessen quarantine period for Covid-positive players

Quarantine could be from 10 to 6 days in some testing cases

The NBA is nearing an agreement with the NBPA to lessen the quarantine period for Covid-positive players, in a model similar to the NFL’s new plan.

In some testing cases, the current 10-day quarantine protocol could be shortened to clear players for return. Based upon testing, the agreement could allow players to shorten quarantines down to six days, per sources.

The NBA and NBPA have been consulting with their own infectious disease specialists and studying research models in the UK and elsewhere.
