Lebron James Being Cleared to Play 2 Days After Testing Positive For COVID Brings Up a Kevin Durant Situation from Last Season
Although it’s great that Lebron James beat COVID-19 in 2 days, this whole situation seems a bit strange to some people due to something that happened to Kevin Durant last season. We all remember when Kevin Durant was taken out of a game on live TV due to “Health and safety protocols”. Reports say that he tested negative for COVID multiple times before the game after recently testing positive. When the situation happened Kevin Durant was very angry, and he was forced to sit out more games.
This has some people questioning why Lebron James is being allowed to play so soon even though it’s alleged he had a false positive test. Part of the reason could be that KD’s situation happened much earlier during the pandemic and there is more understanding of how the virus works now.
