Nuggets shut down facility, 3 Pelicans test positive
Print Edition
The Denver Nuggets closed their training facility over the weekend after two members of their party that was set to travel to Orlando, Florida, for the NBA season’s restart tested positive for COVID-19, a source close to the matter confirmed.
The team’s 35-person party made up of players, coaches and staff was tested on Saturday. It was not immediately clear who tested positive but the facilities were closed as a precautionary measure. The team and the league did not comment on reports of the closure. Nuggets coach Michael Malone said this month that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus in March, while center Nikola Jokic tested positive in Serbia last week. The New Orleans Pelicans said on Tuesday that three of their players had also tested positive. “They’re not in ‘quarantine’. They’re in self-isolation and they test daily,” Pelicans Executive Vice President David Griffin told reporters. National Basketball Association teams were set to travel on July 7 to Florida where the NBA plans to restart the suspended season on July 30 at Disney World, with all games, practices and housing at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex inside the Orlando resort.
