16 NBA players test positive for COVID-19

Sixteen NBA players tested positive for COVID-19, a little over a month before the 2020 season is set to resume in Florida. The 16 positive tests were out of 302 players tested. Players would be living, practicing and playing at the Disney resort to minimize the risk of exposure.

"Any player who tested positive will remain in self-isolation until he satisfies public health protocols for discontinuing isolation and has been cleared by a physician," the National Basketball Association said.
