Sacramento Kings forward Jabari Parker announced Wednesday he tested positive for the coronavirus.
"Several days ago I tested positive for COVID-19 and immediately self-isolated in Chicago which is where I remain," Parker said. "I am progressing in my recovery and feeling well. I look forward to joining my teammates in Orlando as we return to the court for the resumption of the NBA season."
The Kings are one of seven Western Conference teams that didn't clinch a playoff spot prior to the NBA suspending play that have been included in the league's restart plan in Florida. Sacramento's addition of veteran forward Corey Brewer this week was a response to the news, a source told The Athletic's Sam Amick.
Parker, the No. 2 pick in the 2014 draft, has only played one game for the Kings since arriving from the Atlanta Hawks in February's Dewayne Dedmon trade.
