What if Harden intentionally got it before play resumed to eliminate chances of being out for key games? I heard Westbrook is also joining the Orlando groupl late...

I'm wondering what happend to Don, since someone already answered you about Holic. What did he even say that got him banned? Do you know?
In particular, doctors are worried about the ability of the virus to cause heart problems. Via Baxter Holmes of ESPN: Matthew Martinez, a consulting cardiologist for the National Basketball Players Association, separately echoed that point to ESPN and said rest is key after a confirmed positive test because doctors believe that "the amount of cardiac damage can increase if you continue to exercise in the face of an active infection." Martinez noted, "So you're somebody with a low-grade fever, and you have a little bit of symptoms. And, a week later, you're fine. Do you have cardiac involvement? Now, if you're a regular person, like me, and you're going to go do your [two to three-mile runs] every day ... that's a different discussion than if you're a professional athlete. "So that's the reason why we worry about it that that high level of exercise intensity can increase your risk of having an adverse event when there's cardiac damage related to a virus." Any player who tests positive for COVID-19 will be out for at least two weeks and will need to undergo a cardiac screening before being cleared to resume activity. While each case will be different, players will likely be sidelined even longer than the initial two-week period because they won't be able to train while they recover, and will then need additional time to recondition for games. Last month, Dr. Dermot Phelan, cardiologist and Director of the Sports Cardiology Center at Atrium Health's Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute told CBS Sports, "we have data from hospitalized patients that show between seven and 33 percent of people will have some cardiac injury after getting COVID-19." That's particularly worrisome for NBA players, especially considering some concerning recent trends: The league and NBPA have, in general, focused more on the heart in recent years, and part of those efforts are tied to the health screenings the NBPA instituted for retired players in the wake of several notable NBA retirees dying suddenly from heart-related issues. "Basketball players have the highest incidence of sports-related sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the United States among all athlete groups," a 2016 study by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center reported. "The most common cause of [sudden cardiac death] for American athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition that results in the thickening of the wall of the left ventricle, forcing the heart to work harder with every beat."
Don't want to comment because we don't know for sure that Harden had Covid-19. But where's there smoke.... And if there's anyone we thought wouldn't be able to socially distance.........amiright? Hope he's recovered and no long-term effects. It's the possibility of long term effects from this virus that first worried me when all this started. Teddy Roosevelt caught malaria in Brazil and it nearly killed him at the time. But, in effect, it did kill him, because he died not many years later, despite always being a fairly robust adult (sickly as a child, put it behind him). Fingers crossed.
The main reason they did it in Orlando is because Disney world is there. And ESPN is owned by Disney. Disney is losing a lot of money from various places. Movies, entertainment and the parks. So the main reason they continued the season was because of the owners and all the money the NBA would lose. Disney was included since all the revenue from the playoffs would have been lost. Those organizations don’t really care about the players. Ofc the players have to play if they want their money. But since it’s an unexpected circumstance the nba should have paid the players at least 50 or 60 % of their paid for the games they would have missed. They say is a billion dollar bubble but it has so many holes or possible holes. If they were considerate about keeping a safe bubble. They should have spend a little more and have all the staff stay in a Disney resort and have them just like the players. The staff could have gotten their meals and other stuff plus a bonus of some sort. As the season progressed less staff would be needed as teams are eliminated. All of them would be in a better bubble, safer with less possibilities of getting infected and getting paid while staying in different resorts and enjoying their leisure.
