After spending the last several days in the NBA's health and safety protocols, Lakers forward LeBron James did not speak kindly of the league's process.
James said he tested negative for COVID-19 on Tuesday but later tested positive in a follow-up test, forcing him to miss the matchup against the Kings that day and fly home to Los Angeles. He told reporters after Friday's 119–115 loss to the Clippers that he "thought it was just handled very poorly," and was left feeling confused, frustrated and angry.
"Usually when you have a positive test, they'll test you right away to make sure," James said postgame.
