Players Required To 'Be In Uniform And Warmups' Upon Arriving To Games

An NBA protocol will require players to "be in uniform and warmups" as they arrive to the arena, sources told Nick DePaula of ESPN.


Players will be dressed in their full uniforms before they board the team bus, with photographers waiting on location to snap pre-game photos.


Team locker rooms at the arena are not equipped with showers, leading to the change in dress protocol. 


Players will leave the arena 40 minutes after each game ends. 


"I think that takes away [from] originally what getting dressed was all about. It wasn't even about the tunnel walk, it was more about getting dressed up and going to work. To me, it's like a mindset, getting dressed and getting ready to go to my game. It puts me in the mindset that I'm ready to work and helps me find my focus," PJ Tucker told ESPN.

Players that spend the majority of their time picking out name brand skinny jeans and designer man purses & overpriced custom jewlery just to wear it once & walk the tunnel are punching the air right now, and im not talkin about just Westbrook/Harden.

PJ Tucker also needs to walk the tunnel with 40 pairs of shoes in his hand. The flex is too real.

The league will say that this move is covid related. But I'm here to tell you that this move was made so that players don't show up with dozens of "unapproved messages" on their wardrobe.
