As part of the NBA’s Covid protocol, LeBron James has been placed in solitary confinement and could even miss a good ten days of competition with his Los Angeles Lakers franchise.
LeBron James will have to respect isolation. Indeed, the star of the NBA is now concerned by the Covid-19 health and safety protocols of the prestigious Basketball League. This news was confirmed by his own Los Angeles Lakers franchise, via Twitter. This is how James was obviously not present, this Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the meeting won against the Kings of Sacramento. According to some local media, the player could even be absent for a good ten days, as this famous protocol stipulates, if his isolation is due to a positive test. Because despite this announcement, it has still not been specified whether the main person concerned had himself tested positive for the coronavirus or if he was only a contact case. To officially return to competition, he will have to present no less than two negative tests in total.

James had refused to encourage other players to get vaccinated
Still, LeBron James has already been vaccinated, even before the start of this new NBA regular season, just like the entire workforce of his franchise of the Los Angeles Lakers, with a view to be able to comply with local restrictions currently in effect in the city based in the state of California. At the beginning of this year, the basketball player, quadruple MVP, had simply refused to indicate if he intended to be vaccinated. But, as recently as last September, LeBron James revealed that he finally did., in order to protect himself and also to protect his own family. However, the star couldn’t escape criticism, when he said it was not his role to encourage other players in the prestigious Basketball League to get vaccinated. Also last September, James said in particular on this subject: “I know what I have done for myself and my family. I know what some of my friends have done for their families. But as far as speaking for everyone and their individualities, and the things they want to do, that’s not my job. “
