ESPN NBA play-by-play announcer Mike Breen will miss Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals after testing positive for COVID-19, an ESPN spokesperson told multiple media outlets Sunday.

Breen has called the first six games of the series between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. The series wraps Sunday night in Miami on ESPN, with Mark Jones stepping in for Breen alongside commentators Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.

Breen said he feels well, per the spokesman, and expects to call Game 1 of the Finals, which begin Thursday.
