The Phoenix Suns arrived in Orlando deprived of several elements: Ricky Rubio, Aron Baynes, Jalen Lecque, but also the French Elie Okobo, for which we do not know the reasons for the delay. They picked up Ricky Rubio, affected by COVID-19, but the others have not yet arrived.
However, The Athletic reports that Frenchman Elie Okobo is on his way to Orlando and will arrive in the bubble today. Of course he will have to observe two days of quarantine and test negative twice at least 48 hours apart. Once the protocol is past, he can find the floors with the rest of the team.
The Suns have a scrimmage Tuesday he could participate in.
Elli Okobo of the Phoenix Suns is traveling to Orlando today, sources said, meaning Aron Baynes, who told @ShamsCharania he contracted COVID-19, and Jalen Lecque (personal reasons) are not here at Disney yet for that team @TheAthleticNBA
