Furthermore, 9 players were tested positive for COVID-19 among the 344 total players between June 24 and June 29
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.
