Of the 498 NBA players who have been tested for COVID-19 since December 30, four new players have returned confirmed positive tests, the league and the NBPA announced today in a joint press release.
When the league last announced its testing results on December 30, it had gone a week without a new confirmed positive test, but that streak didn’t carry over into the new year.
The league hasn’t been announcing which players have tested positive and teams have generally declined to provide that info as well, except in cases where players are comfortable disclosing it. During the past week, we learned that Bulls veterans Tomas Satoransky and Chandler Hutchison tested positive — it’s safe to assume those are two of the four positive tests noted in today’s announcement.
There are a number of players around the league currently listed as out due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, so it’s not clear which other two players tested positive along with Satoransky and Hutchison.
u gotta be kidding me…. ofc no one can escape covid
