NBA extends streak of spotless COVID-19 testing in Orlando

The NBA said Wednesday it has had no positive test results for the coronavirus from any of its players in the Orlando, Florida, bubble since the last update on July 29.

It was the third straight time the NBA has said it has had no positive tests of the 343 players tested on its campus dating to when the league announced its initial batch of tests in the bubble on July 13.

It said then that two of 322 players tested had come back positive but that those players had left the bubble.

"In the event that a player on the NBA campus returns a confirmed positive test in the future, he will be isolated until he is cleared for leaving isolation under the rules established by the NBA and the Players Association," Wednesday's statement said.

Last week, a  Sacramento Kings player had an inconclusive coronavirus test but was ultimately cleared for Friday's game against the Spurs. Sources told ESPN that the player had to quarantine for two days after the inconclusive test -- or "false positive" -- Wednesday, but successive negative results Thursday and Friday allowed for his availability against San Antonio.
