From the moment the NBA released its plans for a restarted season confined to a “bubble city” within the Walt Disney World complex, there was going to be some hiccups.
In order for the plan to work amid surging coronavirus cases in Florida, NBA players needed to follow the safety guidelines and stay on resort grounds … or else they’d face a mandated 10-day quarantine. But, apparently, even those who wanted to stay on campus are running into some difficulties.
On Monday, it was announced that the Sacramento Kings’ Richaun Holmes would have to quarantine for 10 days after he left the NBA bubble to pick up his Postmates order. According to Holmes, there was some confusion about that policy as he “accidentally” crossed the NBA campus line.

Holmes currently has eight days remaining of his quarantine. And around the same time his Postmates mishap took place, the Suns’ Kelly Oubre Jr. cautioned other NBA players about issues with ordering food delivery.

He eventually deleted the tweet and followed up with a “nevermind lol.”
But no team wants to lose a player for extended time because he broke safety protocol getting Postmates. It might be a safer bet to just deal with the Disney food until the issues get worked out — even if the food is terrible.
