Curious as to why he wouldn't isolate for 2 weeks and then test again? Do NBA players get paid if they sit out in this situation?
My understanding is that they don't get fined or punished but don't get their pro rata pay if they voluntarily sit out.
I would guess DeAndre now has an "excused absence" (so he gets paid) and might not want to be stuck in the bubble away from family for a month when his team has no chance minus KD, Kyrie and Dinwiddie.
Just speculating and not meant to be derogatory in any way.
