NBA Confirms 16 Players Tested Positive For Coronavirus In First Round Of Examinations

The NBA completed their first round of coronavirus testing and announced that a total of 16 out of 302 players tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

The league did not reveal or confirm the names of the players who tested positive, but Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon, and Sacramento Kings teammates Jabari Parker and Alex Len have come forward and revealed their positive test results.

All players who test positive must remain in isolation until they satisfy public health protocols and are cleared by a doctor. The league also began testing all staff members and anyone else who would travel with teams, but did not release those results.
