Raptors star Kyle Lowry shared his particular situation with Wojnarowski, explaining that he has been working out in Philadelphia and if he has to return to Toronto prior to joining the team at a training camp in the United States, he would have to quarantine for the government-mandated two-week period — a stretch in which his conditioning could be negatively impacted at a time when other players are ramping up their return-to-play regimens.
Bypassing the need to return to Toronto, and instead head directly to where the NBA hosts its training camps — with Disney World in Orlando still reportedly being among the front-runners — would remove the mandatory two-week, border-crossing quarantine period and allow Lowry to get to work with his teammates immediately.
