How are they determining who has to be quarantined? Basketball/football are all over each other on every play.

Generally speaking minimal close contact outside has pretty low chance of spreading the virus. Europe has been playing soccer for weeks (months?) now without outbreaks. MLS aside from right at the beginning, before they played a match, hasn't had another covid case (they sent two teams home that had covid outbreaks within their team lockdowns).
