Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley (Twitter link), Clippers forward Marcus Morris and Knicks guard Miles McBride (Twitter link) have all entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, according to their respective teams. All three updates were released on Saturday morning.
Mobley, Morris and McBride join a growing list of players in the league’s protocols. A total of 58 players are currently waiting to return, according to our tracker. Assuming the trio tested positive for COVID-19, they’ll be out for at least 10 days unless they register consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart.
Mobley, 20, is currently enjoying a stellar rookie season. In 25 games, he’s averaged 13.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 33.6 minutes, starting in every one of his contests.
Morris, an 11-year veteran, is one of many Clippers players on the team’s injury report for Saturday’s game against Oklahoma City, but he’s the only player listed out due to the protocols.
McBride shined in the Knicks’ 116-103 win over Houston on Thursday, recording 15 points, nine rebounds and four steals as a starter. New York now has six players in the protocols.
We should start an online betting pool of who’s gonna be next to hit protocols. Nba isn’t gonna have anyone left to play games at this rate. 3 on 3 time.
Think entire league should enter protocol end the season. It’s way too dangerous to play. Take cover.
Lmao owners already lost potential money in 2020. They’re not going to sacrifice and leave money on the table.
I do think taking a week off would be a good idea
1-2 weeks, why not! I totally agree.
I dunno I kind of like this. There are very good basketball players all over the place. Give them all a chance (at this rate we’re gonna) and see what we find. Almost none of the guys entering protocol are actually getting sick, so I think it’s kinda fun in a nutso sort of way.
Sure, I would also like to see another two-way spot added for teams.
Not McBride ……. Geez he was just showing up. This is nuts
Get out your knee braces boys. We’re all gonna sign 10 day contracts here in a bit.
This is becoming a mess. IQ said he wore his mask when he takes showers after Knick games and he still tested positive. I don’t think this season is going last. We are headed for another shutdown in the NBA.
Shutdown the league for 2 weeks.just for 2 week.this virus isnt a joke..
