INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The return of Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon has been delayed after he tested positive for the coronavirus.
And Sacramento Kings teammates Jabari Parker and Alex Len both announced they are dealing with the virus as well.
Those three players issued statements Wednesday and say they expect to be with their teams when the season resumes in Central Florida next month.

All 22 NBA teams that will be part of the resumed season began mandated testing Tuesday.
League officials have expected that positive tests would be inevitable. But players who test positive now could have time to recover and rejoin their teams before the games start.
Parker was in Milwaukee earlier this month to participate in peaceful protests against police brutality, though it's impossible to know exactly when or how the former number two overall pick was exposed to COVID-19.
