Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups has entered the league's health and safety protocols, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday.

Assistant coach Scott Brooks will serve as the acting head coach in Billups' absence, sources told ESPN.

Billups is one of four NBA head coaches in protocols, including the Los Angeles Lakers' Frank Vogel and Chicago Bulls' Billy Donovan, with sources telling ESPN that Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams entered protocols on Monday.

Sacramento Kings coach Alvin Gentry and the Indiana Pacers' Rick Carlisle are back coaching after spending time in COVID-19 protocols.

Portland has lost eight of its past 10 games and had its most recent game postponed because of COVID-19 issues with the Brooklyn Nets. The Blazers host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.

Yea but it’s all over the news that everybody gets Omicron. The vast VAST majority will have mild to no symptoms if your fully vaxxed. So idk why they care if these athletes who are completely vaxxed and show no symptoms need to sit out

Hey Aldo, I got an idea: Since lots of guys are out anyway, why don't we tank and rebuild?!
