Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon tested positive for coronavirus when the NBA mandatory testing program started in June, but announced today (via Twitter) that it feels “good” and is “ready for Orlando“.
The Pacers are one of eight teams scheduled to travel to the Walt Disney World campus on Thursday, and with the Brogdon quarantine period now over, there is hope that he will be able to accompany the team on that trip. According to Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports (Twitter link), Brogdon must return another negative COVID-19 test before getting the green light to travel with the Pacers to Orlando.
