On Friday, the Washington Wizards announced that head coach Wes Unseld, Jr. entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Since NBA team employees, like Unseld, have to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, this is likely due to a positive coronavirus test.
Over the past month, a significant number of Wizards players have tested positive for the coronavirus. Therefore, it seemed like it was just a matter of time before Unseld and/or other staff members test positive themselves.
According to a press release, assistant Pat Delany will be the Wizards’ acting head coach tomorrow when they host the Portland Trail Blazers.
