Report: Multiple NBA Teams Expected to Test Asymptomatic Players and Staff For COVID-19

The Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be among the NBA teams allowed to conduct COVID-19 tests for every player and staff member entering team facilities, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Per ESPN, as some NBA teams open facilities for voluntary workouts in areas where stay-at-home orders have been eased, the NBA is now allowing the administration of tests to asymptomatic participants, doing so only after allowing written authorization from a local health authority that confirms a "robust testing program in place for at-risk health care workers" exists in the local team community.
