Spencer, whose name was not mentioned during the news conference at Bellevue Hospital, left Guinea on Oct. 14 and arrived in the United States three days later, said Mary Travis Bassett, the city's health commissioner. During his travels and upon arriving in New York, she said, "he was well with no symptoms."

He checked his temperature twice daily, she said, and "began feeling somewhat tired" on Tuesday. On Thursday morning, she said, Spencer began to develop a fever, at which point he contacted Doctors Without Borders officials. Soon thereafter, he was transported from his residence in Harlem to the hospital in Manhattan.

I am going to go out on a limb and say he was not contagious (given present info) since he didn't develop the fever until after he got home from bowling.

Those without any known exposure to Ebola are told to monitor their health for a 21-day incubation period, according to the organization.?

Monitor their health for 21 days is the policy and he did that. According to the WP article he didn't have the fever on wed night when he went bowling.
