NBA: Stevens says no Celtics have tested positive for COVID19
WASHINGTON -- The Boston Celtics began mandatory workouts Wednesday in preparation for the NBA restart in Orlando, and coach Brad Stevens said so far none of the team's players has tested positive for coronavirus.
Nor have any Celtics players indicated they will opt out of the NBA's "bubble" restart that will gather 22 teams in Orlando, Florida, to play a string of regular-season contests and the playoffs. "Those first couple of weeks of practice are going to be important getting our legs underneath us. Once you get into practice and really playing, it's a different kind of level you have to reach."
The NBA's restart schedule calls for teams to play eight "seeding games" which will effectively wrap up the regular season, with playoffs to begin on August 17.
