How long the Raptors will reportedly be in quarantine when they arrive in Orlando.
However, players and staff will reportedly need to quarantine for around 36 hours upon arrival. During that period, they must each test negative for COVID-19 not once, but twice, before they can continue.
The team is set to practice on Saturday, July 11, as long as this quarantine testing period goes to plan and all personnel are cleared. It will be their first official session since March, says Lewenberg.
Over the weekend, the team posted photos of their players undertaking some form of training, wearing face masks and Black Lives Matters shirts.
