Three New Orleans Pelicans players have tested positive for the coronavirus, executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin told reporters Tuesday.

Griffin, citing HIPAA, did not say which players tested positive but did say those players are in isolation. He added the three tests took place when players returned to the facility last week.

Oy vey.

Not surprised to be honest, there was 16 confirmed cases of COVID just a few days ago, and a few more prior to that. Odds are that every team has at least one.

That’s annoying. But they’ll have time enough to recover and no chance they set foot in The Bubble without a negative test result.

Further down, says team doesn't know if Gentry will join the team in Orlando due to his age...which is 65.

Maybe a good way to see if Finch is HC material.

Probably not JJ Reddick. He is practicing and did an interview on ESPN Scott Van Pelt show last night.

It's almost definitely not Zion. Considering he has been in the facility every day, I'd assume they've been testing him.

JJ and Josh Hart playing a round of golf together means its neither of them

If I had to guess I get a feeling that Lonzo might be one of them. Not sure why, just seen a ton of pics of him out and about and with variou people.

Better that it happened now instead of later?

Going back through the audio, David Griffin said the team had the three positive tests on the first day players were back and have had zero positive tests since then.

Griff on any possible roster changes: “When we turn our roster in, we may or may not have to make replacements, even once the roster is turned in on the 1st. We’re sort of at the mercy of the virus in that regard. But we have no reason to believe that anyone will not go.”

Definitely not BI, he don't go nowhere lmao.

Players that have been in the facility so far: Zion, Jrue, Melli, Miller, Favors

In addition, JJ and Hart were playing golf together yesterday so have to assume.

Leaves us with:
BI
Zo
Jax
NAW
Jah
Frank
Etwaun
Kenrich
Cheathem
Gray

Goes without saying that we all wish it wasnt any of them, and not to sound inconsiderate, but have to hope its not BI or Lonzo.

It's gonna be Lonzo, Frank, and Jah.

I feel like I've seen Frank post social media of him everywhere for the last 8 weeks, he's out and about every day somewhere. Lonzo to a lesser extent, but I've seen a lot of him on his instagram with multiple people; mostly family but also some not, I think.

Jah's gonna have it because he's Jah and of course he'll get it. Just his luck.
