The Dallas Mavericks have three players currently quarantining in Denver after one tested positive for COVID-19, while two more were identified as having close contact during a road trip. Dallas returned home without them, played a home game one day later and then was forced to shut down the team’s practice facility when a fourth player entered into the league’s self-isolation protocol. On Monday, at least five more players entered into self-isolation after another player tested positive, a team source says, causing the team to fall below the required eight available players threshold and for the evening’s game to be postponed. If the NBA’s contact tracing identified on-court exposure as a possible transmission concern, the team would likely require more players to isolate themselves, as would the two teams they’ve played since its first player recorded a positive test.
