Nets' Michael Beasley reportedly tests positive
Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Beasley has tested positive for COVID-19 and been sent home to self-quarantine, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Charania adds that Beasley is now uncertain to make the Nets' roster for the restart. If active, Beasley will be suspended for the first five games due to a previous incident. He was actually expected to play a meaningful role for a Brooklyn team that has been decimated by illness and injury. Look for Rodions Kurucs, Justin Anderson, and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to take on even more minutes if Beasley doesn't make it. Lance Thomas was also signed to help.
Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Nets are tied for the seventh-worst odds (+16000) to win the NBA Championship.
