NBA to require players to wear sensors as part of contact tracing

The NBA is planning to roll out an ambitious aspect of its leaguewide contact tracing program by requiring players and many team staffers to wear sensor devices during all team-organized activities outside of games starting Jan. 7, according to a league memo obtained by ESPN.
Only Tier 1 and Tier 2 individuals -- designations outlined in the league's health and safety protocols that include players and specific staff members, such as coaches -- will be required to wear Kinexon SafeZone contact sensor devices on the team plane, the team bus, during practices and to and from the arena or their home practice facility in connection with team travel, the memo states.
Not wearing the sensors is subject to discipline, but it's unclear what the discipline might be. Players are not required to wear the sensors during games or at the team hotel when traveling.

So the sensors are only supposed to work when they’re all together and being monitored by the team itself?
But they don’t need to wear them when they go home and do all the stuff that’s most likely to get them infected when not under team supervision?
So what’s the point?

It’s hard to criticize any of the NBA’s Covid protocols considering the lack of positive tests they had in the bubble and now in the new season.

Especially the staff, because not all staff comes in close contact with every player. That way you don't just rule out the whole team and hopefully end up with less canceled games.

But anyway, this is way overboard.

NBA has told teams they have to wait their turn. Bad look for them to be getting vaccines before the medical workers and all.

Colin Cowherd: I just don't know, it just doesn't seem right that athletes making millions of dollars get the vaccine before people who actually need it.
Dan Patrick: *some dumb shite with the Danettes* "It makes you wonder where our priorities are in this United States of America that professional athletes receive the vaccine at the same time period as our frontline workers.
