Kings Buddy Hield reportedly tests positive for COVID-19
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield has tested positive for COVID-19, league sources tell The Athletic's Shams Charania and Sam Amick.
What It Means:
Hield is the latest of several players to test positive, including Nikola Jokic, Malcolm Brogdon, and Jabari Parker. The NBA is currently scheduled to restart on July 31, however, this is a reminder that the COVID-19 pandemic could still thwart the NBA's current plan.
Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Kings (+25000) have the worst odds to win the 2020 NBA Championship.
