A native of the Czech Republic, Tomas Satoransky once made a multi-day drive across Europe, vacationing on a journey from Barcelona to Prague. For several reasons, an early-January, two-day trip south from Milwaukee to New Orleans was not nearly as enjoyable. Unlike his European vacation with friends, this time Satoransky was forced to make the 15-hour drive by himself, after testing positive for Covid and entering the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
Fortunately for the Pelicans point guard, Satoransky only experienced minimal symptoms from the virus, such as some congestion. He was cleared Sunday to return to his team.
