)
The NBA bubble has continued to protect players, with the league announcing that it has gone another week without a detected case of the coronavirus.
According to a joint release from the NBA and the NBPA, the union that represents the league’s players, none of the 343 players tested since July 29 has returned a confirmed positive test.
Since NBA players arrived inside the so-called bubble on the Disney World campus in Orlando, Fla., on July 7, the league hasn’t reported a positive test from a player.
According to the release, “in the event that a player on the NBA campus returns a confirmed positive test in the future, he will be isolated until he is cleared for leaving isolation under the rules established by the NBA and the Players Association.â€
Those rules include two subsequent negative tests more than 24 hours apart and medical clearance from doctors, including a cardiologist.
