Can't see that. Jabari, Malcolm, etc. all were public with their positive test results. If it were a janitor, they'd tell that to Woj asap and get it out there.

Really? I'd hope that they would be much more apt to protect the privacy of someone making 30-40K that won't be part of your contingent going to Orlando than they would be of a player/coach/staffer that makes significantly more than that and is going to be part of your contingent going to Orlando

It seems that about half the players who have tested positive have been public and half are a mystery. This has been the case since March when Woj reported that four players on the Nets tested positive but didn't name names. Teams have been unwilling to release info about non-players who have tested positive.

The Bucks publicly stated they wouldn't release the names of people who test positive. This was before anybody with the Bucks tested positive (that we know of) and while the practice facility was still open for four more days.

It's just total speculation to wonder who tested positive or if it was done out of an abundance of caution. They 100% wouldn't say if it was a janitor or some other facilities person, that would be ****'d up to put their name out there and could have serious effects on their life. I do miss my little connection to the NBA world, it was with the Suns but it would be interesting to hear tidbits of inside info.

Really, wouldn't we want Giannis to catch it now so that he can't catch it again once this thing gets rolling? Assuming it doesn't effect his long term health.

I was on Dunk Bait. They cut out the part where I shouted everyone here out individually.

Guys,

Will they be switching out the floors depending on the teams playing/ who's the home team? Or will it just be one neutral floor for everyone?

If we could know for sure that it wouldn't have long term effects and he'd recover quickly....sure. the problem is we can't know for sure. It seems like high level athletes fight the virus off pretty quickly or are asymptomatic but there just isnt enough data.

If he were to get it, being infected now would be the best for the Bucks' chances, so I understand your point. I trust that this wasn't your intention but I would just say that we do NOT want Giannis or anyone to get this.

It was a player.

The Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association closed their practice facility after a player tested positive for the coronavirus, the team confirmed Monday, as the league prepared to resume its season.

Yeah, I shouldn't have said we want him to get it. But when all this is done, how many players are going to test positive at some point? 20%? 30%? I guess it's just the ridiculousness of this whole thing that that we will not only be rooting for the Bucks to win but for the players to not test positive at an inopportune time.

I've read that people who have tested positive for it once have also gotten it a second time.

Yeah, Reuters changed the story to note that "it wasn't immediately clear whether a player -- or multiple players - tested positive for COVID-19."

Yes. No guarantee you can't get it a second time or that it doesn't cause long term damage even if you are in the "recovered" column.

Nice of you to take time out of filming casting couch to talk about the Bucks.

Pretty sure Giannis didn’t test positive, he’s outside running hills.
