Navy men’s basketball will not resume practice until Dec. 21 due to coronavirus issues

The Navy men’s basketball team will remain in quarantine until Thursday and won’t resume practice until Dec. 21, coach Ed DeChellis said Monday.

Navy paused all men’s basketball activities last Monday after one player tested positive for COVID-19. The Midshipmen have not practiced since Dec. 6.

Every member of the program has been impacted by the quarantine — 17 players, five coaches, the strength and conditioning coordinator and trainer.

“We’re all on lockdown until Thursday,” DeChellis said. “We got tested again this morning and hopefully everyone is clear. If someone else tests positive, it’s going to be another 10 days.
