One new NBA player has tested positive for COVID-19 out of 549 tested since Dec. 10, the NBA and NBPA announced.
This is the third phase of testing around the league and the number of positive cases has continued to decreased.
Before this latest round where only one player tested positive, 48 players tested positive in the initial testing phase from Nov. 24-30 and eight players tested positive in the second round.
“Anyone who has returned a positive test during this initial phase of testing in their team’s market is isolated until they are cleared for leaving isolation under the rules established by the NBA and Players Association in accordance with CDC guidance,” according to the statement by the NBA and NBPA.
