No Dallas Mavericks’ players tested positive for COVID-19 two days after their close contact with Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
The positive test by Vucevic was announced one day after the Mavs lost Wednesday’s game to the Bulls, 117-107. Vucevic played 32 minutes in that game and finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, and was obviously in close contact with several members of the Mavs. But after going through their regular testing procedures, the Mavs announced before Friday’s 123-109 victory over the San Antonio Spurs that all of their players are in the clear as far as COVID-19 is concerned involving any contact with Vucevic.
