Josh Richardson Rumors

“I think my takeaway is how adaptable we are,” he says. “How proud I am that everybody was able to … the NBA was able to make a semi-safe space for us to be able to compete.”

Richardson says he didn’t have any symptoms the first time and quarantined at his house — with his dog, Champ — for 25 days. “That was before we knew anything about it,” he says. “We didn’t even test every day, so it could’ve been a false positive. But I was scared. I didn’t want to give it to anyone else.” He also didn’t want to talk about it publicly. “At the beginning, people would look at you funny,” he says. “Like you had the plague.”

For the next 11 days, Richardson sat alone in his hotel room in Denver. “The only time I opened the door was to get tested at 7 in the morning and 5 at night,” he says. “I could order Uber Eats. But they’d leave it at the front desk, and the people at the hotel would bring it up and knock on the door and sprint away.”

One of the days he noticed what looked like a music video being filmed on top of the bus station. “That was entertaining!” he says. “I watched the whole production. They had an orange Mustang and people standing on top of it.”
