These past couple of weeks have been very difficult for the NBA. Numerous players are out with COVID-19 right now and teams are in destitute situations. Multiple teams have resorted to signing players to 10-day contracts as they need a way to fill out their roster spots while players are out with the virus. It is not an ideal situation in the least bit, and now, the league has had to completely change the way it attacks COVID.

There are only a few players in the league who remain unvaccinated, and one of them is Bradley Beal. Beal had been adamant about how the shot isn't necessary as people are going to get the virus anyway. Now, Beal's the latest player to get hit with the virus as he has officially been told to enter quarantine.
