Nine more NBA players have tested positive for COVID-19.
The NBA and NBPA announced the news in a joint statement on Thursday. The nine positives resulted from a test of 344 players between June 24-29. The results increase the total of confirmed player cases to 25 since testing on June 23 resulted in 16 positive cases.
That number does not represent all the positive cases among NBA players since the pandemic began. Players like Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell who self-identified earlier in the pandemic are not included in those numbers.
