More NBA Players Test Positive for Coronavirus

This week, two more prominent names have joined the growing list of NBA players who have tested positive for COVID-19. The first one, revealed this Monday, was Houston Rockets star point-guard Russell Westbrook, who announced his positive test result via Twitter shortly before the team departed. He, along with James Harden and Luc Mbah a Moute, did not make the trip to Orlando with the rest of the Rockets; Harden stayed behind for family reasons.

The second notable player who tested positive for the virus was Milwaukee Bucks point-guard Eric Bledsoe. His condition was announced this Thursday – according to reports, he is currently asymptomatic. He has also yet to make the trip to the Orlando bubble. When he does arrive, he will be subjected to a mandatory quarantine period, which will last a minimum of two weeks, per league protocol. The Rockets players will also have to undergo a 48 hour quarantine upon arrival before they can practice with their team.
