Why LeBron James escapes suspension for breaking NBA\’s health and safety protocol?

Published

By Ponciano Melo – LeBron James was again the talk of the town recently, not because of superb NBA highlights nor another milestone but due to his violation of the NBA\’s health and safety protocols.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar broke the protocols by attending a promotional event on one of his investments, Lobos 1797 Tequila. He was with rapper Drake and actor Michael B. Jordan.

Despite the violation, James could escape the mandatory quarantine because the attendees should be vaccinated and undergo tests with negative results.

The NBA also backed their decision not to put James into quarantine:

\”To clarify any remaining misconception, LeBron James briefly attended an outdoor event last week where participants were required to be vaccinated or return a negative test result,\” according to NBA Chief Communications Officer Mike Bass.

\”Under these circumstances and in consultation with medical experts, it was determined that his attendance did not create risks related to the spread of COVID-19, and therefore no quarantine was necessary. Throughout this season, there have been numerous similar violations of the league\’s Health and Safety Protocols, which were addressed with the player\’s team similarly.\”

\”Under current NBA rules, vaccinated players are permitted to engage in outside activities,\” said Bass, \”including their commercial arrangements, such as sponsor appearances or ad shoots.\”

Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby overlooked as Durant hypes Tatum

As the Boston Celtics won vs Phoenix (127 – 112) last March  15, 2024, NBA superstar Kevin Durant hyped Tatum as the one who will control the league for the next 10 or 12 years.

Despite the outstanding performance of Joel Hans Embiid Philadelphia 76ers, Doncic  Luka Mavericks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks, Victor Wembanyama Spurs and others, Durant still saw Celtic power forward Jayson Christophe Tatum as the best.

Durant said after the Wednesday practice that Tatum is consistent all year and assumed him as the legit candidate.

“Putting up a high number of points. Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.” Durant remarked.
