Teams competing in NBA restart to begin COVID-19 testing June 23

All traveling members of the 22 teams competing in the NBA's return to play in Orlando will begin undergoing COVID-19 testing on June 23, according to a league memo obtained by ESPN's Zach Lowe.

The memo states that all those traveling will be tested every other day after June 23 and on each of the last two days before teams fly to Walt Disney World, according to Lowe.

Training camps are reportedly scheduled to begin on June 30, with teams set to arrive in Florida on July 7.

The National Basketball Players Association apparently informed players last week that coronavirus testing will occur on a nightly basis within the closed-campus environment. Tests are expected to include mouth swabs and light nasal swabs rather than full, more invasive nasal swabs.

Any player who tests positive will reportedly be quarantined for a minimum of seven days.

The NBA is also looking to fund a Yale study that will support the validation of saliva-based COVID-19 testing and potentially increase the availability of cost-effective, non-invasive testing to the general population, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.
