DeRozan becomes 3rd Bull to exit health protocols initially appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The Chicago Bulls are making headway within the well being and security division throughout their week-long, COVID-19 induced pause.
On Friday, a group spokesperson confirmed that DeMar DeRozan is out of the NBA’s well being and security protocols. DeRozan, who entered protocols on Dec. 6, is the third Bull to clear protocols this week, together with Coby White and Javonte Inexperienced.
NBA tips dictate that gamers in protocols stay there for 10 days, or till they return two adverse PCR checks in a 24-hour window, earlier than exiting. Then, gamers should move cardiac screening earlier than being cleared to play.
DeRozan’s cardiac and conditioning statuses are unknown with a house sport towards the Los Angeles Lakers looming on Sunday (adopted by the Houston Rockets on Monday and Toronto Raptors on Wednesday). However the growth is a step in the appropriate route.
With DeRozan, White and Inexperienced clear, seven gamers stay in well being and security protocols: Matt Thomas, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dosunmu, Stanley Johnson, Zach LaVine, Troy Brown Jr. and Alize Johnson.
