Syracuse guards Buddy Boeheim & Joe Girard confirmed to have previously tested positive for COVID-19

Following the game between the Syracuse Orange and Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball teams on Tuesday night, Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim divulged that both Buddy Boeheim and Joe Girard tested positive for COVID-19 during the team’s most recent pause. Shortly after SU’s Dec. 19 game against Buffalo, the Bulls basketball program announced a positive test. Syracuse subsequently went on pause and didn’t play again until Jan. 6.

“I think Buddy is just starting to get his rhythm back a little but from all the time out and having the covid, the whole thing,” the elder Boeheim said.
