The protocol in place for players that break quarantine is to sit out for 8 days before resuming any basketball activities. Caboclo left his room after all players were instructed not to leave their room by NBA officials.

Caboclo left his room during the initial quarantine period, a source said. He was unaware that he was not allowed to do so despite the league informing all players and staff of the protocol. “He should’ve known,” the source said. “It was no secret.”
