I think they still could have played with no crowds, although as someone who considers this a once every century pandemic I will admit I appreciate the statement they are sending.

The problem is that you now have two teams that will have to be in isolation for at least the next two weeks, not even counting all of the other players who were on the court with the Thunder in the last two weeks. How do you continue a season with several teams being unable to play for the next two weeks or more?

I did not know that. I assumed it was preventative in nature. I guess they had no other choice.

I wonder if they still get paid.

The CBI tourney has been canceled as well. Don’t be surprised to see others like the NHL and NCAA tourney cancel too.

I hope not.  Baseball sucks.

I guess all of the sports writers and talking heads can go on vacation for awhile.

I guess Utah had played 3 games since Friday. And those 3 teams each played a couple games since Friday. And those played a few. Etc.

Point being, it’s possible every team in the league has been exposed to it now.
