The 2019-20 NBA season is scheduled to restart later this month at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, after suspending play due to the coronavirus pandemic. Let’s check in on what’s happening around the league:
- Nine additional players have tested positive for the coronavirus, the league announced Thursday. That means a total of 25 players (out of 351) have tested positive. Ten team staff members out of 884 tested between June 23-29 have also registered positive cases.
- Houston Rockets forward Thabo Sefolosha is opting out of the NBA’s bubble restart, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
