From Woj:

Philadelphia's Isaiah Joe has entered health and safety protocols and Sixers are now testing the entire team for Covid-19 out of precaution ahead of game vs. Detroit tonight, source tells ESPN.

Tobias Harris has missed two games now after entering the protocol, and with Joe being added to the list, you hope it stops there. Last thing the Sixers need is an outbreak to derail their excellent recent form.

Here’s what Doc Rivers said about Harris before Wednesday’s win against the Bulls:

“He’s doing okay but not great, honestly. That’s the most I’m going to say about it. It hit him, for sure. A lot of guys have had this and they are mad, like, ‘what the hell? I’m fine.’ Tobias is not in that category right now; I can tell you that.”

There’s an injury list addition as well, with Furkan Korkmaz being declared questionable with right wrist soreness.

You have to love NBA back-to-backs, and by “love,” I mean they are absolutely atrocious. Give these dudes a break between games.
