In the coming days, NBA teams will flock to the Walt Disney Amusement Park in Orlando, where they will be renovated for 2019-2020. season.
Still, before embarking on trips to Florida, NBA executives shared with the clubs the strict rules that must be followed.
If a player loses their coronavirus test two days before the trip, they will have to organize a trip to Orlando on their own. The player will be able to fly a private plane, but will have to cover the cost of the flight out of pocket, travel by car or take advantage of a commercial flight.
If a basketball player is traveling on a private flight or in a car, they will need to submit two negative coronavirus tests before returning to basketball training. If a basketball player were to use a commercial flight, the number of negative coronavirus tests would increase to three.
It’s also worth mentioning that if a basketball player hasn’t been regularly screened for coronaviruses in the past few weeks, then they will need to submit 6 negative COVID-19 tests in a row before arriving in Orlando.
The first teams will arrive in Orlando on Tuesday. Still, coronavirus-infected basketball players are not expected to join the entire team in the near future. According to established rules, any basketball player infected with COVID-19 must quarantine and present two negative coronavirus tests.
If a player fails the test before leaving for any reason, they must add a negative coronavirus test three times in a row before joining the team.
The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets are among the teams where several people have been infected with the coronavirus in recent days.
Orlando training camp will be the first opportunity for teams to play 5-on-5 basketball since the season ended. The 22 teams will arrive at the Walt Disney theme park in three stages: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. After two days of quarantine, the first teams should start training as soon as Thursday.
The NBA season will resume on July 30, and the team will play three friendly games after July 22.
