NORMAN — An OU men’s basketball player recently tested positive for COVID-19, spurring a change in the Sooners’ practice structure, a source close to the program told The Oklahoman.
The Sooners moved to individualized workouts this week but avoided a complete shutdown.
An OU spokesman wouldn’t confirm the positive test or change in practice format.
“OU Athletics’ policy is to report test results cumulatively for our whole athletics department,” the statement read. “We’re not able to confirm or comment on individual sports.”
The most recent overall testing numbers for the department were released Nov. 2, with seven positive tests among the 561 tests administered to athletes and staffers from Oct.
