Players and staff who want to wear Oura Rings will receive them upon entering the Disney World bubble, sources told Tim Bontemps of ESPN.

Wearing the device is optional.

The data will only be shared to the NBA and NBPA for health monitoring purposes.

Teams will not have access to the data, but will be notified if a player shows symptoms of COVID-19 or is at a high-risk for the virus.
