What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Two more Chicago Bulls — Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson — entered the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols today, bringing their outbreak to seven players in less than two weeks.
The Bulls face the Heat with 10 players tonight: chicagotribune.com/sports/bulls/c…5:36 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Bulls up to 7 in the protocol with Ayo and Stanley Johnson. Windy City Bulls games cancelled next two days, BUT not because of any sort of cross contamination- it’s simply a shortage of players. – 5:30 PM
Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
More Bulls have landed in the health and safety protocols:
Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson.
That’s seven players now – 4:48 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
With Ayo and Stanley Johnson, Bulls now have 7 players in health and safety protocols
As of now, 11 players available vs. Heat: LaVine, Vucevic, Lonzo, Caruso (upgraded today), Troy Brown Jr., Bradley, Alize, Simonovic, Alfonzo McKinnie, Devon Dotson and Tyler Cook – 4:47 PM

Rookie Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson join the list of Chicago Bulls in COVID-19 protocol. They’ll be out for tonight’s game in Miami.
Seven players have now entered protocol in under two weeks as a particularly persistent bout of the virus wracks the Bulls. – 4:39 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
You may not believe this, but Ayo Dosunmu and newcomer Stanley Johnson have joined health and safety protocols, according to injury report. That makes 7 #Bulls in protocols and unavailable for Miami tonight – 4:35 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson have landed in league’s health protocols.
Alex Caruso is available. – 4:33 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
According to Billy Donovan, Stanley Johnson and Alfonzo McKinnie could both see action against Miami. Johnson was in fall camp, so knows the basics. Both players stayed after the Friday practice with assistant coaches to go through a workout/walkthrough. – 2:45 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
The #NBA hardship roster exemption is available once a team has 4 players out for at least 2 weeks, so not sure if #Bulls will be able to add another player. Stanley Johnson officially signed today and likely will be available for Sat’s game in Miami. – 1:40 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Billy Donovan was asked about Stanley Johnson being the hardship exemption player and couldn’t say much. According to Beth PR, the hardship player wasn’t in the building tonight. To be continued in Miami …. – 7:24 PM
