LA Clippers staff members in quarantine after New Year's Eve event, sources say

Seven members of the LA Clippers support staff -- including one who tested positive for COVID-19 -- are in quarantine away from the team, sources told ESPN.

The quarantined group, which traveled via vans from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles over the weekend, includes no players, coaches or team management, sources said.

The Clippers traveled to Phoenix to play the Suns on Sunday night.

Contact tracing of the positive test led back to a New Year's Eve staff gathering with food and drinks in a presidential suite of a Salt Lake City team hotel that included intermittent mask wearing, sources said.
