In a Memo obtained by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, vaccinated NBA players, coaches, referees and staff members will now only have to quarantine for six days if COVID-19 testing data shows they are no longer infectious. The current time to clear quarantine is 10 days.
The NBA and National Basketball Players Association agreed to the change. Individuals can still clear quarantine if they test negative for the virus twice with each test coming 24 hours apart.
The NBA has found that those who have received the COVID-19 booster expel the virus from their system far more quickly than those who don't, per ESPN.
