ANALYSIS: The last batch of COVID-19 testing only returned one new positive test and now the NBA has gotten to their desired number of zero new positive tests with their most recent round of testing. Aside from the disastrous start in Houston in terms of positive COVID-19 tests, the NBA has been able to avoid any major COVID outbreaks to start the season. The league will hope to keep things trending in the right direction going forward.
