Isaac is not with the team in Indiana last I heard. It's still not clear if he has tested positive for Covid, or just came in to contact. Hopefully it's not the former - he doesn't need to go through that his rookie season.

Yeah, it sucks. They needed to bubble but they're going in the other direction and letting fans into the arena instead. It's mind boggling. We've got a vaccine. Just wait a couple months. It's the very definition of penny wise and pound foolish.

I'm pissed at Gilbert for this and it will be a long time before I buy another Cavs ticket.

I am not sure exactly what the contact tracing procedures are right now, but I would imagine the foot sprain may have included a trip to a facility for imaging where by rule he may have to enter the covid health and safety protocol as there are always covid + individuals in the vicinity in those environments... or you have to act as if there was etc.
The league announced their latest round of testing had 0 + tests so unless he had tested + prior to the latest report I am guessing it was just exposure risk requiring entering the protocol /playing it safe while nursing a injury etc.
