Celtics forward Jabari Parker enters health and safety protocols as COVID cases rip through NBA

Celtics forward Jabari Parker is in health and safety protocols per the Celtics, as COVID cases spike around the NBA.

Following Celtics practice on Thursday, coach Ime Udoka said both Parker and Romeo Langford missed practice because they “didn’t feel well.” Langford — who tested positive for COVID in April — was not listed on the Celtics’ injury report.

Parker is hardly alone. A host of cases hit the NBA on Thursday, as multiple players were forced into protocols including De’Aaron Fox and Bobby Portis. The Bulls suspended all team activities on Monday due to an outbreak that had 10 players in health and safety protocols.
