LeBron James Breaks Silence On NBA’s Testing Process After ‘Something’s Fishy’ Tweet

This past Tuesday, it was announced that LeBron James has been placed into the NBA’s health and safety protocols after testing positive for Covid-19.

James, who was cleared again two days later, after numerous native tests, wasn’t a fan of sitting out games and posted a not so cryptic message on Twitter yesterday. The four-time MVP wrote “Something is REAL [fish emojis] going on.

After the Lakers loss to the Clippers on Friday, LeBron was asked about his tweet again, and didn’t mince any words in his response:

“I knew I was going to get cleared because I never, ever felt sick at all. I just thought it was just handled very poorly.

Usually when you have a positive test, they’ll test you right away to make sure. There was not a follow-up test after my positive test. It was straight to isolation and you’ve been put into protocol. That’s the part that kind of angered me. I had to figure out a way to get home from Sacramento by myself. They wouldn’t allow anyone to travel with me, no security, no anything, when I traveled back from Sacramento.”
