The NBA and National Basketball Players Association announced Friday 16 players have tested positive for the coronavirus out of 302 who were tested Monday.
“Any player who tested positive will remain in self-isolation until he satisfies public health protocols for discontinuing isolation and has been cleared by a physician,” the league news release said.
Players will be tested every other day for COVID-19 and then two days before they leave for Orlando for the 22-team format to resume the 2019-20 season in July.
Teams will travel between July 7-9. Upon arrival, players and team staff must quarantine until they return two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart.
