NBA tightens coronavirus protocols, ‘bubble’ rules in effect for 2 weeks

With four games postponed already this week and more teams dealing with virus-related issues, the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association enacted additional rules Tuesday in the hope of keeping the season going safely. Among the new policies: For “at least the next two weeks,” the league and union said, players and team staff will have to remain at their residence when in their home markets and are prohibited from leaving their hotels or having outside guests when on the road.
