Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has tested positive for the coronavirus and is currently back in Serbia, the Denver Post reported Tuesday as the NBA begins ramping up preparations for a resumption of play.
The Nuggets declined to comment, citing medical privacy.
With the NBA planning to resume play after a coronavirus hiatus that began on March 11, players were to be back in their teams’ market on June 22, with overseas players due back on June 15.
The Post reported Jokic was granted an exception to stay longer, but tested positive and has begun his quarantine.
Eight days ago Jokic was in Belgrade for an exhibition basketball game.
