On The Jump Rachel Nichols mentioned

quote:

8 NBA Teams have tested their players and many of their traveling staff also.


The graphic behind Rachel when she says this shows 8 team logos, one of which is the Pels.

Celtics, Raptors, Nets, Thunder, Lakers, Jazz, Pistons, Pelicans.

I guess if any of the Pels have it we should hear about it in the next few days.

Crazy that the hospital I work at literally told us the beginning of this week that we have to ration the tests to those who are more likely to have the disease or they'd run out and NBA teams can just have their entire organization tested on a whim. America for you I guess.

They’ve been paying private labs to do it

The New Orleans Pelicans have yet to administer any COVID-19 testing, according to a source.

Team’s full traveling party has not shown symptoms and team is committed to not having anyone tested in order to allow those who truly need tests to get them first.

It was probably Zion's idea

That’s strange. Lopez works for ESPN, I wonder why The Jump would have thought the Pels were one of the teams?

They travel all around the country weekly in arenas full of people. It’s not wildly unfair to test them, id say they are more likely to have it than the average person.

More likely to have it and more likely to spread it.

On his podcast JJ mentioned he drove 21 hours to an undisclosed location to ride this out. Considering NOLA is looking like a hot spot, maybe the rest of the team should leave too. Jrue has some ranch house in the middle of nowhere California where half the team goes in the summer, maybe they should head there.

I mean if you have amassed a massive wealth from playing bball, it would be silly not to go out into the country and live in a gated mansion with an endless supply of toilet paper.

I told my old lady the same thing when I thought that. She said they must not be taking that route. She passes Jrue’s house on the way to her job and said there was a child’s bicycle on the lawn and lawn chairs on the patio that aren’t normally there when she passed by Wednesday. All the SUVs were there except Jrue’s Raptor. So hopefully they’re well.
