I don’t think he actually has covid , I honestly think they are using this rest him , but if he does have covid no one should be celebrating it

It’s very likely he has COVID. Every player and coach I’ve seen that entered protocols all said they had COVID.

That’s exactly what Melo wanted you to do.
He can’t bear to witness cats joy over not having to watch his mans n dem for a few games.
That’s why he dragged the COVID thread in here. He think he slick. It’s a distraction!!!

Now let’s enjoy some Obi!!!!!!!
Facts that's exactly what I'm saying. It's not that serious. Nobody wishes bad on this man we just wanna see how the team looks w.o him for some games. We finally got our chance, let's see what Thibs and the young kids can do.
This feels surreal.
Covid is serious but mostly for people already in poor health not athletes in top top shape with unrivaled nutrition and health experts.

I hope he’s Ok. Please take all the time you needed Julius. Fully understand if you need 4 years off. Family first.

But literally every person I know in the city either has omicron variant right now or had it. So I just think he coincidentally got it after a bad stretch and Knicks twitter asking him to sit out for a week or so.

Thibs mentions he’s nicked up last night , reporters making suggestions that the Knicks should put him in the health and safety protocol to sit and rest him and then today he’s in the health and safety protocol, that’s either some crazy coincidences or he really has covid , either way this the perfect time to sit him

Tbh, I don’t even care much if he doesn’t get the start. I just hope he gets 30+ mins, even if it has to come from being off the bench. Might be better to keep that young unit together anyway.
