Watching them wear masks all the time reminds me of what we first heard here, that mask usage isn't helpful because people don't wear them properly and end up touching their faces all the time. Coughing/sneezing into your elbow and not putting your hands on your face was thought to be more effective in both reducing transmitting it & catching it. These guys are constantly putting their hands on their masks, pulling them up and down, having them half off, etc. If anybody does happen to catch the virus between tests, then they breathe into that mask for a few hours, they constantly touch it with their hands...seems like more of a risk than not wearing one?
Anyway, the challenge of these broad policies is you'll always end up with a few situations where there's a gap or something looks inconsistent. But the policies may still be helpful overall. Baseball and college football have run into issues right off the bat, so far the NBA's approach is holding up.
