Euroleague has it's cases as well: https://www.euroleague.net/news/i/awur8v...id-19-news
What they are doing better is less contact between players/benches, less bench-celebrations, hugging, high-fiving, etc. But this is more a cultural thing in european basketball than stricter covid rules alone. Still, i agree the NBA could be stricter in this regards.
However, it's almost impossible to not spread the virus within a basketball team once it is attracted by a player the first time with daily training sessions, a game every other day and lots of traveling.
