Two of 465 NBA players tested for COVID-19 in the last week returned positive results, the league announced Wednesday.
That number is down from seven confirmed positives on March 3, a total that reportedly stemmed from an outbreak within the Toronto Raptors organization. The league reported two positive tests on Feb. 24 and five on Feb. 17.
Wednesday's results include testing conducted for the league's All-Star festivities, which took place Sunday in Atlanta. Nobody tested at the event - including Philadelphia 76ers stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons - returned positive results, the NBA said, according to Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press.
Embiid and Simmons remain in contact-tracing quarantine this week.
