Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups entered the league's COVID-19 protocols, the team announced Monday.
Assistant Scott Brooks will be the acting coach in Billups' absence, starting with a Monday night home game against the Dallas Mavericks.
Billups, 45, has a 13-19 record in his first season as an NBA head coach.
He was an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers in 2020-21 following a 17-year NBA career with seven teams that included five All-Star selections and a 2004 NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons.
Portland also has six players sidelined due to the health and safety protocols: Jusuf Nurkic, Dennis Smith Jr., Robert Covington, Keljin Blevins, Ben McLemore and Trendon Watford.
