The Kings are the seventh NBA franchise that has closed its facility. Three players, Buddy Hield, Jabari Parker and Alex Len, had previously tested positive for the novel corona virus. Parker said he tested positive for the virus in June and isolated himself in Chicago. Len posted on Instagram that he tested positive for COVID-19 and immediately isolated himself. He also tested positive, sources said KCRA 3. In early June, the NBA Board of Governors approved a 22-team format for restarting the league season in late July on the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida. The team will leave for Orlando on July 8, with the first fight on July 22 and the first game on July 31.
