The Clippers canceled today’s morning shootaround due to precautionary concerns related to COVID-19, but tonight’s game against the Mavericks shouldn’t be affected, writes Mirjam Swanson of The Orange County Register.
The team’s training center was quiet this morning, Swanson adds, and a formal announcement from the organization was made at 9:15 Pacific Time, citing issues involving the league’s health and safety protocols.
Veteran swingman Nicolas Batum entered the protocols on Sunday after being a late scratch for that night’s game. No one has stated whether Batum tested positive for the virus, but he is projected to miss at least 10 days. That timeline suggests a positive test.
“I’m not sure the days, but I expect him to be out for (a while),” coach Tyronn Lue said. “I’m not sure the timetable, though.”
All this nonsense just to preserve the rights of all the Kyrie’s out there who insist on endangering everyone else because of their own beliefs.

The effect will be similar to last year. As it continues to rise in the winter months as it has been we will see more cases. If cases come down again in the spring the effect will wain.
The NBA has told players to get a booster, which if they mix vaccines really ups the response, and should lead to fewer breakthrough infections.
