Not yet. KD was a definite contact tracing incident. He was with somebody in their car, neither one of them were wearing masks, and then the person he was with returned a positive Covid test. KD never did but since he was with that person he had to be pulled out for a minute (about a week) so they could check and make sure he was OK. KAT - on the other hand - caught the virus. It was announced that he was Covid positive on January 15 and his game against us the other day was his first game back.
So that’s the $64k question: was Dennis just exposed or did he actually contract the virus.
Hopefully he is just a quarantining due to contact at which point you know he’ll be out for like a week-ish.

Didn’t AC deal with this earlier in the season? He was out 2 games
I had to go look at the injury thread he was out December 28 through January 7 and it looked like he missed between five and six games. Definitely at least five games because one of the tweets says said “this is the fifth game in a row”...

PRELIMINARY INJURY REPORT FOR 1/5/21
Per Buha
Lakers’ injury report lists KCP (left ankle sprain) and LeBron James (left ankle sprain) as questionable for the Memphis game tomorrow.
Alex Caruso (healthy & safety protocols) is out for the fifth straight game.
Starting Wes/KCP kinda showed the lack of dynamism from our backcourt with LBJ having to create everything. Granted, no AD, but I think we will really miss Dennis the next few games.
I love AC, but he is not a scoring threat at all.
THT, love his potential, but he's not there yet.
I know some like to really poop on Dennis, but he is really important to this team this year. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
New story: Dennis Schroder tested negative for COVID-19 and is completing a seven-day quaratine because of potential exposure through contact tracing, sources told @wojespn. The Lakers PG will miss tonight and at least two more games, per Frank Vogel
Team is really missing him on both sides of the ball. Have so few guys who can create for themselves and attack the rim. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
These games show why we need him. He can actually create for himself even with his terrible decision making at times. Our other guards really can’t now that THT has been scouted.

When I hear others say that AC/THT can just take Dennis’s role...nah. Not even in the same ballpark in terms of being able to create and score (though THT is only 20). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Durant already had it though. So isn’t he immune? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I don’t remember whether Kevin had it or not but science has already debunked that immunity myth anyway. People have had recurring COVID infections (I actually know someone who did)
Anyway KD was back from the Health and Safety protocol and then he missed our game due to a hamstring strain. Bro can’t catch a break.

Covid is still largely a mystery. There have been some studies that suggest immunity after contracting covid could last for as little as a few months, or as long as a few years. So the immunity Durant had after contracting covid last March could be gone now.

I've seen re-infections, still not common and all had it over 6 months prior... so far
Anyone who doesn't see how important DS is on both sides of the court are kidding themselves.
Last night was a winnable game with DS. Without him and LBJ we have no one to orchestrate the offense.
The second unit was out of sync for most of last night because we had no true PG to lead them.
THT & AC will have to "toe the line" for a few games but so far they have not shown much as far as running an offense.
I expect both to play better against the Wizards but we definitely miss DS more than some will admit.

https://nba.nbcsports.com/2021/02/21/los-angeles-lakers-dennis-schroder-tests-negative-for-covid-19-out-due-to-contact-tracing/
The good news is Schroder has tested negative for the coronavirus, something reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. However, before the Lakers’ loss to the Heat on Saturday, coach Frank Vogel said they had a “more firm timeline” on Schroder’s return and that he would miss a week, with the Lakers hoping to have him back next Friday (against Portland). That would be due to contact tracing, Wojnarowski reports. _________________ Lakers fan since that Magical day June 25, 1979.
Hopefully back soon. We win tonight with him playing. Same with the HEAT game and maybe the Nets one. I think the team without him lacks a secondary perimeter scorer off the dribble. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Our other guards are too scared to take the ball off the dribble. If Dennis’s absence doesn’t show folks his value not sure what else can. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
