NBA COVID19 Tracker: Attempting to keep up with cases and outbreaks in the NBA – SLC Dunk

In the last week the NBAs battle to play a season out in the wild with COVID19 started to look daunting. With every passing hour, either Shams or Woj was breaking news that another team was experiencing an outbreak amongst their players and personnel. Thirteen games have now been postponed due to COVID19 and more will most likely be on the way due to a new outbreak in the Minnesota Timberwolves locker room. It has become a head spinning task to keep up with all the notifications so I created a tracker to help out.

Below youll see that you can search by team to see the players that have been in Health and Safety Protocols. Those who qualify have to have been in the system for more more than 24 hours. Thats why you wont see Joe Ingles for the Utah Jazz, but you will see his teammate Juwan Morgan. Data was pulled from the NBAs injury report so it becomes a little messy when games are postponed. Teams will disclose who is in or out of the NBAs Health & Safety Protocols when a game is played, but when a game is postponed that information will not be disclosed. To get around that I used the qualification that states use whenever there are probable cases, if youre told to stay home and not be around people, youre a probable case. Players on teams with outbreaks that played any minutes in the game before postponement are cautiously overcomunted as quarantined.

If you notice any players who have been in the protocols but are not showing in the dashboard, just say so in the comments with the players name and when they were listed as having COVID this season or when they were listed in the NBAs Health and Safety Protocols.
