The National Basketball Association said Wednesday that no new players had tested positive for Covid in the previous week, after nearly two dozen games had to be called off in the past month because of coronavirus-related issues. After 27 players were positive between January 6 and January 19, only one player has been positive since.


Florida's Johnson Collapse Not Covid-Related

The family of Florida forward Keyontae Johnson said Wednesday that his scary collapse during a game two months ago wasn’t “related to or a result of a previous or current” Covid-19 diagnosis.

Johnson was rushed to the hospital on December 12 after falling face-first onto the court during a timeout in the first half of a game against Florida State. He slowly recovered in the days that followed.

Although Johnson had tested positive for Covid during the summer, the family said doctors have determined the virus didn’t play a role in his collapse. Neither a diagnosis nor a cause of Johnson’s collapse has been disclosed.
