ESPN and the Los Angeles Times both reported that the person who tested positive is part of the group expected to travel to Florida for the restart of the NBA season. It wasn't immediately reported whether it was a player, coach or staff member who tested positive. The Denver Nuggets closed down their facility on Tuesday after three people tested positive. Earlier Thursday, the NBA announced that 25 players have tested positive for the coronavirus since testing began on June 23.
