Utah Jazz test players for coronavirus as NBA braces for results

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz players underwent coronavirus testing on Tuesday, according to a team source.

The Jazz, as well as the rest of the league started mandatory testing as a part of the NBA’s plan to restart the season. As results begin to roll in, there have already been reports of some players who have tested positive for COVID-19.

The NBA anticipated that there would be a number of positive tests once players reassembled in their home markets, which is why testing was set to officially begin on Tuesday, giving teams time to isolate and quarantine players before heading to Orlando in the second week of July.
