The Chicago Bulls postponed two upcoming games after 10 players, plus other members of the organization, entered health and safety protocols because they’d tested positive or been exposed to somebody who may have COVID-19.
said that as of Tuesday morning, 51 players have entered protocols since the season started around Oct. 20, with 41 players missing games. Over the last two weeks, 36 players have entered protocols.
NBA team executives say they expect more players will be forced to enter protocols after Christmas because cold weather and the holidays bring people together, ESPN reported, citing unnamed sources. So far, no cases of the Omicron variant have been reported in the NBA, ESPN said. The NBA reports that 97% of players have been vaccinated, according to ESPN. Players who don’t get a booster shot by Dec. 17 will face stricter safety measures, such as game day testing. Team members other than players will face restrictions on interaction with players if they don’t get a booster by Dec. 17.
