Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson said on Thursday that every player on his team has contracted COVID-19 since the summer. Sampson added that “some” of the Cougars coaches and managers have as well.
"All 15 players," Sampson said on Thursday.
Houston has not played since its Dec. 5 win over South Carolina. It subsequently paused all basketball activities on Dec. 8 due to a COVID-19 outbreak. It is unclear, however, how many positive tests came directly prior to the Dec. 8 stoppage.
The Cougars were cleared to return to team workouts this past Tuesday afternoon.
