Lakers' Dwight Howard, Malik Monk Latest to Enter Health And Safety Protocols

Two more members of the Lakers rotation, guard Malik Monk and center Dwight Howard, have entered the NBA's health and safety protocols, the team announced.

Earlier that day, the team canceled practice after Talen Horton-Tucker tested positive for COVID-19. Per ESPN, team members were required to take a rapid test and a PCR test before they could head to the airport, but had to test negative.

Players who test positive can clear COVID-19 protocols with two negative PCR tests within 24 hours, like LeBron James recently did. Otherwise, players must spend 10 days in isolation away from the team without conducting physical activity.
