The last several days have been a veritable who’s who in the NBA as players go into protocols for coronavirus. One of the recent additions to the protocols list is the New Orleans Pelicans guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Alexander-Walker last played in the Pelicans’ win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday 111-97, in which he scored 27 points, including 22 in the second half.
Alexander-Walker is the first Pelicans player to enter COVID-19 protocols this season. Portland has yet to have a player enter protocols this season, so this case is one to watch.
