Last week, the Kings arrived in Orlando without four members of their traveling party. Head coach Luke Walton wouldn’t confirm who was missing from the team, but it was suspected that Buddy Hield, Jabari Parker, and Alex Len were all absent since they had tested positive for the coronavirus back in June.
Over the weekend, James Ham of NBC Sports noted that Harrison Barnes was the only other player who hadn’t been seen in Sacramento’s social media posts, leading to speculation that Barnes was the fourth missing individual, and that he too had gotten a positive coronavirus test.
