NBA announces two new positive COVID tests since March 3rd

The NBA released the following update on the latest COVID-19 results:

"Of the 465 players tested for COVID-19 since March 3, two new players have returned confirmed positive tests.

Anyone who has returned a confirmed positive test, or has been identified as having been in close contact to an infected person, is isolated or quarantined until they are cleared under the rules established by the NBA and the Players Association in accordance with CDC guidance."

The NBA was able to escape All-Star weekend in Atlanta COVID free, despite the scare from 76ers' Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, who were forced to leave Atlanta due to contact tracing. The league will hope to keep the number of positive tests low as there are many games to be made up during the second half of the season.
