Affects of COVID-19 on league a concern for coach Tom Thibodeau

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau admitted concern as two NBA teams already have had COVID-19 outbreaks in their facilities, with the Portland Trail Blazers temporarily shutting down and the Toronto Raptors opting to just exercise caution after contact tracing did not reveal more than the original three positive tests. That doesn’t even bring into the picture James Harden not showing up for the Rockets while flouting league protocols.

"Very concerned because it’s serious," Thibodeau said. "I think it’s important for us to follow all the protocols. I mentioned yesterday Dr. [Lisa] Callahan and [trainer] Roger Hinds, they’ve really been diligent with us.
