ESPN NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy and insider Adrian Wojnarowski did not broadcast Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Celtics and Warriors due to COVID-19, according to the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand.
However, Van Gundy told Sopan Deb of the New York Times that he did not test positive for COVID-19. In fact, Van Gundy was not sure as to why he was held out from Game 1, saying his test was inconclusive and that his two subsequent rapid tests were both negative.
Van Gundy told the Times that he was no longer experiencing symptoms and hopes to return to the broadcast booth for Game 2 of the series on Sunday in San Francisco.
