Buddy Hield tests positive for coronavirus

Bahamian basketball sensation Buddy Hield has become the latest in a growing list of NBA players to become infected with Covid-19.

The Sacramento Kings guard’s diagnosis was announced today along with teammate Jabari Parker.

Malcolm Brogdon of the Indiana Pacers was also diagnosed today.

It’s unclear if the Grand Bahama native has displayed symptoms of the virus that has injected over 9 million people globally.

Hield who is the Kings' second-leading scorer, has not been in Sacramento following the league-wide shutdown.

Earlier this month he participated in the Skinz League in Oklahoma. The event was said to be crowded with basketball fans, many of whom wore no facial masks.
