Share

The NBA's Orlando bubble at the Disney World campus is a whole new world for everybody. That includes Kings big man Richaun Holmes. 

Holmes on Monday announced he broke rules by crossing the NBA campus line to grab his food delivery. "I apologize for my actions and look forward to rejoining my teammates for our playoff push." 

Holmes has to quarantine for 10 days after crossing the campus line. He says he still has eight days remaining. While Holmes will not miss any of the Kings' exhibition games or the season restart, he will not be able to work out with the Kings for over the next week.

The athletic center seemed to find a home with Sacramento. Over 39 games, Holmes has averaged a career-high 12.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. He brings a spark to the Kings and is full of energy on the floor. 

The Kings will first play the Miami Heat in an exhibition game on July 22. They also will face the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers before their season restarts against the San Antonio Spurs on July 31.
