Weltman said the player is taking the appropriate steps that follow a positive test.
“That player, I’m not at liberty to speak about it, is following protocol and we’re hoping he can join us shortly,” Weltman said.
Terrance, Evan, AG, DJ, Vooch, JI, Wes I've all seen enter the bubble today, MCW say's it's not him.
Fultz didn't enter the bubble today for unrelated reasons.

Throw in Aminu and that's 10 people who it isn't.
Leaves Bamba, Birch, Frazier, Ennis and Clark or possibly a two-way player.

Frazier did have on his Instagram story yesterday "Bout to do 3 months"... Though whoever tested positive on the 23rd could almost be over it by now and hit the bubble soon, so that doesn't say much...

I think there were some wires crossed when it was reported someone tested positive and that Fultz wasn't joining the bubble today that some people just made assumptions and ran with that as news before getting any clarification.

Poor Evan had no clue what Dawn dish detergent and a Amazon fire stick was for. It's going to be a long couple months for him.

Bamba just posted from the bubble.
So the possibilities are;
Ennis
Clark
Frazier
Law?
B.J Johnson?

The only significant player who wasn’t there without an alibi (Fultz) is Mo, but whoever it is should be close based on when the last round of testing happened.

Someone on Reddit has "confirmed" that it's James Ennis which is a big blow imo because we started playing good once he was inserted in the starting lineup (assuming he doesn't make it inside the bubble).

Why are players in the Nets dropping out due to testing positive?
I would think they could come back once they recover and test negative
Hopefully that's the case for James

I would assume timing and severity of symptoms would matter significantly.
Hypothetically, if Ennis tested positive on June 23rd and was asymptomatic, he would have an easier path to return to the bubble than someone who tested positive on July 6th or 7th and has more significant symptoms.

It's difficult to attribute that to the impact of Ennis due to the poor net rating we had when he was on the floor, but I know Clifford likes him.

His last few twitter post sounds like he's dealing with something "Blessed to see another day" was the most recent. Sucks that he'll be out. but at least that was already nearly 2 weeks ago. so he should be good to clear sooner than later.

Since he tested June 23... Does that mean he is covid-free already?

They said Fultz was dealing with a non-covid related issue but did they ever say how long he would be away?
If we are without Isaac and Fultz there really is no reason for me to watch this joke of a “playoff” contest.
