The NBA has allowed players to make their test results public but also in favor of the players who do not want to make the test results public.
The list is not a long one, but with 2 players having tested positive in the NBA Bubble, there are concerns of an outbreak within the bubble. Hopefully, players can maintain all the protocols and ensure that no breach happens, due to ignorance or otherwise.

COVID-19 cases are slowly but surely increasing amongst the players and it will be interesting to see if Adam Silver and co. are able to pull of the NBA Bubble restart without any hiccups.
