The Milwaukee Bucks shut down their practice facility following the latest results from Friday's coronavirus testing, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

It is unclear how many positive cases were revealed, or whether the affected parties are players, coaches, or other team staff.

The team is reportedly not expected to reopen its facility before traveling to the site of the NBA's Walt Disney World campus in Orlando on Thursday.

The decision comes after a pair of other title contenders - the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers - reportedly closed their facilities following positive tests earlier this week.

The Bucks were a league-best 53-12 (.815) when the season was suspended in mid-March due to the pandemic. With a 6.5-game lead over the Eastern Conference's second-seeded Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee is likely to clinch its seed early in the NBA's eight-game seeding phase.
