The Score
The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are closing in on an agreement that will decrease the amount of time a player has to quarantine after a positive COVID-19 test, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Under certain scenarios, players could return after just six days of isolation, Wojnarowski reports. The league currently requires players to undergo a 10-day quarantine period after a positive result, though vaccinated athletes can return sooner if they produce two consecutive negative tests taken 24 hours apart.
The discussions between the league and the players union reportedly follow consultations with infectious disease experts.
