Greetings all,
Wednesday was a full day of quarantine, which meant we could not leave our rooms for the full 24 hours. Everyone passed the time in a different way, whether it be video games, napping, work, or catching up with loved ones; Ish Smith did food reviews (coming tomorrow), took a nap and played Madden, while Troy Brown Jr. started getting his vlog ready.
Meals were delivered outside rooms at 9:00 A.M., 1:30 P.M., and 7:00 P.M. As I’m sure you all want to know, here were the menus for the day. Once quarantine is over, we will have a meal room with staggered occupancy (and much less food to consume).
Breakfast menu
• Assorted breakfast breads with pastries, butter, and jellies
• Seasonal fruit with fresh berries
• Southern style grits with a side of cheddar cheese, butter, and chives
• Cage-free vegetable egg white frittata with a side of tomato compote

The Wizards held two Zoom sessions, a workout before lunch led by the team’s training staff and a yoga session before dinner led by D.C.’s own Lara Atella. The team was able to break a sweat, stretching out muscles and getting blood flowing.
In addition to daily coronavirus testing and symptom self-checks, we also need to take our own temperatures and oxygen saturation using devices provided by the NBA. Testing took place starting at 10:00 P.M. In the future, we will be tested every morning in addition to filling out the other necessary information.
If all goes well, the Wizards will be able to hold practice Thursday evening! Head coach Scott Brooks and select players will speak to the media.
Until next time!
