As per Clutch Points, the NBA will not drug test its players for marijuana in the 2020-21 season, the same policy introduced in the Orlando bubble, according to Ben Dowsett.

In March, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports announced that an agreement to stop drug testing during the hiatus was reached by the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).

The arrangement was only temporary at the time, as during the prolonged quarantine and high-stress bubble experience, the league was trying to restrict both close-contact situations and help reduce stress levels.

In June, Shams Charania of The Athletic announced that the NBA and NBPA had agreed to terms on performance-enhancing drug testing in the bubble, but chose to suspend recreational drug testing for teams in Disney World.
