One of the first updates of the NBA bubble environment has gone viral and it’s… not great.
Some players shared pictures of the food served to them on trays after arriving in Orlando for the return of the basketball season. Suffice to say, their chefs at home prepare food that looks tastier than this.
It looks suspiciously like airplane food — but the good news is, it won’t last long. New York Times reporter Marc Stein tweeted that the food service will change after quarantine ends following the first 48 hours of living in the new environment and ensuring everyone is coronavirus-free.
After players have received two negative coronavirus test results, they will be able to eat together and terminate strict quarantine. Organizations can have specific meals made, restaurants will be allowed to open and players can bring private chefs to prepare food off-site, according to Sports Illustrated.
So it won’t be long until NBA players are eating well again.
The WNBA players are having more of a struggle, though.
On the IMG Academy campus in Bradenton, Fla., some have posted complaints about the living situation.
Kayla Johnson of ESPN tweeted a picture of some type of crawling creature on the ground, and the food looks … not excellent.
The laundry rooms aren’t in good shape, either.
After Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard tweeted disgust, WNBA Players Association president Nneka Ogwumike followed up by saying that someone is ignoring her messages about the need for improvement.
