The New York Times’ Marc Stein reports that the meals that players will receive will change after they’re out of quarantine.
Food in the NBA bubble changes after quarantines are completed. Player meals won’t look like airline trays after the first 48 hours …

A few days ago, ESPN’s Malika Andrews gave a behind the scenes glimpse of the NBA bubble, which is located outside of Orlando, and also what the food situation looked like for those under quarantine.
The restarted NBA season is set to begin on July 30.

In a rarity for First Take, @stephenasmith went off main topic this morning to discuss the WNBA and its bubble accommodations versus NBA’s Disney plans.
“The NBA might need to be aware of that and make sure they address that quick, fast and in a hurry.”
