By early Sunday evening, the number of players known to be in the protocols was up to 116 — and probably slightly higher, considering some teams had yet to update injury reports.
Numbers can fluctuate quickly as players test in and out, and being on the protocols list does not always mean someone has tested positive.
"Shoutout all the guys filling in to keep this season going — from unknown guys to the vets," Raptors guard Fred VanVleet, one of the sidelined Toronto players, tweeted. "This virus is so complex that it really isn't about us," Spoelstra said."And then now you're dealing with the complexity of this new variant and if you've been fully vaccinated and have a booster shot and you feel fine ... then hopefully your return to play or return to work as a staff member can be quicker."
"We haven't done a thing since our last game," Raptors coach Nick Nurse said about 90 minutes before tip-off.
