Players must quarantine for 4-10 days upon returning to the bubble before being allowed to join the team.

On Friday, Montrezl Harrell left the bubble for a similar reason.

The Clippers are without several players currently. In addition to Harrell and Beverley, Ivica Zubac and Landry Shamet have not yet joined the team. Shamet previously tested positive for the coronavirus. The combination of Zubac and Harrell not being with the team could result in Joakim Noah having a larger role.

As for Beverley, he’s averaging 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season and is recognized as one of the best defensive guards in the league.
