With the suspension of the National Basketball Association (NBA), many players had tested positive during the onset of COVID-19 back in March. Now after almost four months, when the resumption of basketball is just a month away, sixteen players from the NBA have been reported to test positive.

    While the NBA decided to keep the names of the affected 16 players classified, three of them have made their names public through official statements. The players are Malcolm Brogdon of Indiana Pacers and Jabari Parker and Alex Len, who both play for Sacramento Kings.

    “I recently tested positive for the COVID virus and am currently in quarantine. I’m doing well, feeling well and progressing well,” Brogdon, who plays as a Shooting guard and Point guard for Indiana, said in his statement.

    Sacramento power forward Parker said, “Several days ago I tested positive for COVID-19 and immediately self-isolated in Chicago which is where I remain. I am progressing in my recovery and feeling well.”

    “I want to thank the Sacramento Kings for their great care and the NBA for putting the protocols in place to allow me to catch this early,” Len acknowledged.
