The NBA restart is going full steam ahead. All 22 teams are now officially in the Orlando bubble, enjoying the great food, and getting back to business. Unfortunately, we know one Sacramento Kings player who accidentally broke the rules and is now in the league-mandated 10-day quarantine.
Richaun Holmes will miss practices for at least another week, so it’s tough to see him being ready to participate in the scrimmages. He chose to sacrifice the on-court workouts so he could order some food from outside the bubble on Postmates.
Several other players have taken to social media to share their early thoughts on being sequestered at Walt Disney World. Here are some of the Kings players posts:
