NBA teams will be permitted to carry replacement players who can be added to the active roster in the event of a positive COVID-19 test, ESPN reported.
If a player on the roster tests positive for the coronavirus, they will be quarantined and teammates will be tested.
To fill the vacant roster spot of the player testing positive, a “replacement player” can be called up.
Players on two-way contracts would also be eligible to join the active roster if a team loses a player to injury.
Those rules are yet to be fully approved as the NBA modifies protocol and roster management regulation when the season resumes July 31. –Field Level Media (@FieldLevelMedia)
