Amid the NBA's growing COVID-19 issues, five Wizards players have now tested positive for the coronavirus, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania and Fred Katz.
The report comes after Washington has already postponed two games this week–Wednesday against the Jazz and Friday against the Pistons. The team last played on Monday in a 128–107 win over the Suns.
Since then, Washington announced on Tuesday that its practice was canceled after two unnamed players entered the NBA's health and safety protocols. Wednesday's game against the Jazz was postponed after the team said it did not have the league-required eight available players due to ongoing contact tracing.
