First round of NBA COVID-19 testing results in 48 positives
NBA players returned to a league-wide testing program over the
past week, with testing beginning between Nov. 24-30 depending on
the day that a player returned to the team’s market.
Of the 546 players tested for COVID-19 during this initial
return-to-market testing phase, 48 have returned positive
tests.
Anyone who has returned a confirmed positive test during this
initial phase of testing in their team’s market is isolated until
they are cleared for leaving isolation under the rules established
by the NBA and the Players Association in accordance with CDC
guidance.
