The Sacramento Kings shut down their practice facility on Sunday after a member of the traveling party to Orlando for the NBA restart tested positive for coronavirus, a source told Sam Amick of The Athletic.

The team is not expected to reopen the training center before departing for Walt Disney World in Florida on Wednesday, Amick adds.

The Kings became the second NBA team on Sunday to close practice facilities after the Bucks reportedly made the move earlier in the day following their latest test results.

The Western Conference outfit has been hit particularly hard in the past few weeks, as Buddy Hield, Jabari Parker and Alex Len have all tested positive for coronavirus in that time period.
