The Pistons could be getting some relief from their COVID issues in the coming days.
The NBA and the players association reportedly agreed to reduce the isolation time for vaccinated and asymptomatic players who test positive for COVID-19. Previously, players could either clear quarantine after 10 days or with two negative tests at least 24 hours apart.
Under the new guidelines, players, coaches staff members and referees who test positive could return after six days, if testing data indicates that there is no risk for infection, according to a report by ESPN.
The Pistons have had eight players enter the NBA’s health and safety protocols in the past week: Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saben Lee, Rodney McGruder, Trey Lyles, Cory Joseph and Josh Jackson.
