Lakers' Dwight Howard found it 'pointless' he was reported for not wearing
mask in NBA bubble

Howard expressed annoyance for someone recently reporting him to the NBA's
Campus Hotline for not wearing a mask at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Howard對最近有人舉報他 沒有在復賽園區中戴口罩感到惱人

“It was pointless for somebody to tell that I didn’t have a mask on by
myself,” Howard said Saturday in a video conference call with reporters.
“I don't even know when this would've happened. I just think everybody's
making a big deal out of it. But I feel like we're in the safest place in
Orlando. We get tested every day. So we're only around each other.”

週六Dwight在與記者的視訊會議上說，有人告密說，我獨處時沒有戴口罩，這很沒有意義。我只是覺得大家都在小題大做，我認為我們現在是在奧蘭多最安全的地方。我們每天都做檢測。且我們只和彼此相處。

According to the NBA’s 113-page document of health and safety protocols, all
players, coaches and staff members are required to wear a mask and maintain
social-distancing rules once they leave their hotel rooms. But players are
permitted to take their masks off during practices, scrimmages and games.
They can also take off their mask if they are eating outside by themselves orrunning.

根據NBA第113頁的健康與安全協議內容，所有球員，教練和工作人員離開酒店房間時，都必須戴口罩並遵守與社交距離規定。但球員可以在練習和比賽時脫下口罩。如果他們自己在外面吃飯或跑步，也可以摘下口罩。

“I personally don’t see a risk of us getting it during the time period that
we’re here,” Howard said. “We’re not allowed to leave the bubble. We're
only around each other every day. I just feel like it would be pointless for
somebody to say anything.

Dwight表示:“我個人認為在這裡並沒有確診的風險，我們不被允許離開bubble。 我們每天只有和彼此待在一起。 我只是覺得別人告密顯得毫無意義。

"I understand outside of this bubble, wearing a mask in different places is
very important. So I wouldn’t say that it’s not needed. But since we are
here in this bubble and we’re the only ones here, and the staff and everyone
is getting tested every day, I feel like we’re safe.”

“我了解在bubble之外的別處，戴口罩非常重要。因此我不會說不需要戴口罩。但是由於我們在這個bubble中，而且我們是唯一待在這的人，而且工作人員和每個人每天都在接受檢測，我覺得我們很安全。”

Howard reported about the indiscretion during an Instagram Live chat on
Wednesday. On Friday, Lakers coach Frank Vogel said, “we all should be
wearing masks in and around the hotel lobby and the areas that we’re being
asked to wear a mask, we should wear a mask.”

Dwight在周三的Instagram Live聊天中談到了這種輕率行為。 週五，湖人隊教練Frank
Voge說：“我們所有人都應該在被要求戴上口罩的地方例如在酒店及其區域，乖乖戴上口罩。”

People have called the league’s campus hotline only a handful of times over
minor transgressions. Still, Houston’s Bruno Caboclo and Sacramento’s
Richaun Holmes have to spend additional days in quarantine after leaving the
Disney campus.

球員在發生輕微違規時，僅撥打了聯盟熱線幾次。 不過，火箭隊的Bruno Caboclo和國王隊的Richaun Holmes因違規離開園區，還需要多花幾天時間接受隔離

“I don’t personally think it’s that serious in the sense of no one doing
anything that is harmful,” Lakers forward Jared Dudley said. “Someone not
having a mask on at one point in time, they could’ve been on the phone or
just got done taking a test or just got done at a meal they just ate.”

湖人前鋒Jared Dudley說：“我個人認為這沒有那麼嚴重，因為沒人會做任何有害的事情。” “某人在某個時間沒有戴口罩，他們可能正在打電話、剛做完檢測或剛吃完飯而已
。

Howard said he understands those concerns at a larger level. He argued,
though, that attention to his non-mask wearing incident detracted from more
serious matters.

He spoke out about the killing of Breonna Taylor, an unarmed 26-year-old
Black woman who was shot in her home by police officers on March 13 in
Louisville, Kentucky. None of the three officers -- Jonathan Mattingly, BrettHankison and Myles Cosgrove -- has been charged. The Louisville Metro Police
Department fired Hankison in late June.

Dwight說，他在理解人們對此的擔憂。但他辯稱，大家對於他沒戴口罩過度關注了，有其他更嚴重的事值得人們關注。

他說出了Breonna Taylor的殺害事件。Breonna Taylor是一名手無寸鐵的26歲黑人婦女，她於3月13日在肯塔基州Louisville被警察槍殺。Jonathan Mattingly，Brett Hankison和Myles Cosgrove這三名警官都沒有被起訴。Louisville警察局於6月下旬解雇了Hankison。

“They’re still free. They’re out there living their best life,” Howard
said. “Instead of worrying about if I have my mask on or not, that’s
something we should be discussing. Why haven’t these people been brought in?
Why haven’t they been charged for anything or even arrested for what they’
ve done?”

Then Howard spoke in more detail about his “Breathe Again” initiative. He
had initially been reluctant to resume the season partly because of concerns
that it would distract the country from focusing on racial equality protests
following George Floyd’s killing on Memorial Day. He said he will donate the
rest of his salary to this cause through his foundation and added that the
project will support classes on financial literacy, agriculture, law and
history both to inner-city children and adults in his Atlanta hometown.

他們至今仍逍遙法外，他們在那裡過著最美好的生活。與其擔心我是否戴上口罩，不如擔心為什麼這些人沒有被抓進來？為什麼他們不用為自己的行為受到起訴和逮捕？

然後，Dwight詳細地談到了他“Breathe Again”的提倡行動。最初，他一直不願恢復本賽季，部分原因是擔心George Floyd在陣亡將士紀念日(Memorial Day)被殺後，大家將無法專注在種族平等的抗爭上。他說，他將剩餘的薪水捐贈給自己的基金會，並補充說，該項目將為他在亞特蘭大故鄉的內城區,幫助兒童和成年人提供金融知識，農業，法律和歷史方面的
課程。

“That is something that has been missing in the Black community," Howard
said. “...One of the reasons why we came up with this idea is that there’s
been a lot of kids in Atlanta -- and probably throughout the different citiesin America -- these Black kids are in the streets selling water and Gatorade,trying to make some money so they can live. But they don’t know how to keep
that money. They don’t know how to save their money. ... We want to teach
these guys how to save their money so when they get older, they can have
something to pass on to their kids and to their kids’ kids."

Howard also reflected on the legacy of congressman and civil rights icon JohnLewis, who died Friday at the age of 80, saying Lewis' work left him
inspired.

"I think we should celebrate his life and everything that he stood for.
Everything that he fought for. How he represented us as Black people as well
as he did," Howard said.

這是黑人社區所缺少的，”Dwight說：“ ...我們提出這個想法的原因之一是，亞特蘭大
有很多孩子，而且可能遍布不同的城市 在美國-這些黑人孩子在街上賣水和開特利，試圖賺錢維持生活，但他們不知道如何保留這筆錢，他們也不知道如何存錢。 我們要教這些傢伙如何省錢，這樣，當他們長大後，他們就可以將一些東西傳給他們的孩子和孫子們。”

Dwight還談到了國會議員John Lewis，Lewis於週五去世，享年80歲，Lewis的工作使
Dwight深受鼓舞：“我認為我們應該表揚他的一生以及他所代表的一切。他為之奮鬥的一切。他代表出我們作為黑人的一切。”

Howard opened up about the pain he has felt in recent months after Melissa
Rios, the mother of his 6-year-old son, David, died on March 27 near her homein Calabasas, California. Howard said the death was not related to COVID-19
and stemmed from Rios having a seizure after fighting epilepsy. After that,
Howard was conflicted about resuming the season so he could attend to David.

It remains unclear if any specific incident could prompt him to leave the NBAcampus. The league permits players to leave for extenuating circumstances,
including family medical emergencies. But players would be subject to as few
as four days in quarantine so long as they continued receiving daily tests
for COVID-19 that turned out negative.

Dwight分享了他這幾個月以來受的痛苦，他的兒子是6歲的兒子David的母親Melissa Rios於3月27日在加州Calabasas的家附近去世。Dwight說，死亡與COVID-19無關，是因為Rios的癲癇發作。在那之後，Dwight在猶豫是否參與復賽，因為他要照顧兒子David。

目前不清楚是否有任何具體事件會促使他離開NBA園區。聯盟允許在特殊情況下讓球員離開，包括家庭醫療緊急情況。但是，只要他們繼續接受每日接受COVID-19的測試，如果結果是陰性，那麼他們只要接受四天的隔離。

“I have an obligation, a contractual obligation, to this team, the
organization, the players, the fan base and to myself,” Howard said. “So I
want to make sure that I do my job and I complete the task that we have set
forth before the beginning of the season. But also when I’m not playing,
just to try to encourage people to focus on what’s going on in their
personal lives and their families, but also (on) how we can unite as people
to change what’s going on in our world.”

“我對湖人管理層，隊友，球迷以及我本人都有義務，也有合約。” “因此，我想確保
自己能完成自己的工作，並在完成賽季前我們設定的目標。 即使在我不在比賽時，我也能試圖鼓勵人們去關注生活、家庭和一切正在發生的事情，以及要如何將人們團結在一起，改變世界中正在發生的事情。”
