In just a matter of days, both Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers and Nikola Jokic from the Denver Nuggets tested positive for Coronavirus.
Now unfortunately its the Sacramento Kings turn, as three of their players have tested positive for it. Jabari Parker, Alex Len and Buddy Hield are the latest cases in the league, but according to the team, they are both progressing in their recovery and feeling well.

The Kings, who added Corey Brewer to their roster as they will try to make a playoff push in the West, will get both players back for the resumed season in Orlando.
