LARAMIE — The NBA and the NHL have defeated the novel coronavirus.
OK, that’s a stretch. But given the way the rest of America is struggling to contain the spread of COVID-19, those two sports leagues can at least say they’ve started to figure it out.
During a time when testing positive is as common as the summer heat, the NBA has gone two consecutive weeks without any of the 690 players it tested during that time doing so, the league announced Wednesday. Meanwhile, the NHL has reportedly performed roughly 1,500 tests per day for the last week in its hub cities with no players testing positive.
