00:00I'm Melissa Roland with Sports Illustrated and we're here with Jill Painter Lopez.

00:06Now Jill Dwight Howard said on Instagram live that he was one of the players that was ratted

00:11out on what's been called the snitch hotline inside the NBA bubble because he was not wearing

00:16a mask in a public area.

00:18Lakers coach Frank Vogel weighed in on that today.

00:20What did he have to say?

00:22Well Melissa, what the Lakers coach said was, you know what, he knows now that he is supposed

00:27to be wearing the mask in all the designated areas where you are supposed to be.

00:31Certainly you need to be socially distant wearing that mask and we saw Dwight Howard

00:36a couple of times doing different Instagram live videos without a mask.

00:39One when he was out at the infamous pool party where he was the only one and he was introducing

00:44hotel staffers who were all wearing the masks and he wasn't.

00:48So Frank Vogel said he knows now and then he also talked about, look, we all need to

00:53be doing the small things that are going to equal the bigger things and the payoff

00:57for us.

00:58He said we've all made really big sacrifices to be here and we all need to continue to

01:02do the things to get where we need to be.
