16 NBA Players Have Coronavirus
The concern regarding the NBA's restart amidst Florida's spike in cases is slowly becoming justified. As of a couple days ago, an estimated 5% of the leagues players – 16 out of 302 – have tested positive for coronavirus. These players include Nikola Jokic, Malcolm Brogdon, Jabari Parker, and Buddy Hield. Most of these players have reportedly entered self-isolation.
Seeing how a few of these players are pretty well-known, these diagnoses will be a significant blow to the season overall and a huge concern for all parties involved. Still, the NBA is steadfast in their plans to restart. Hopefully the full extent of COVID-19 cases among the players will not exceed this point much further.
