The NBA “bubble” continues to prove effective, with no positive covid-19 results in the latest batch of tests.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The NBA still has not had a confirmed coronavirus case among players inside the season-restart bubble at Walt Disney World.

The league released updated numbers Wednesday showing none of the 342 players who were tested daily since the league last released results Aug. 5 has had a confirmed positive.

There has not been a player positive since teams began entering the bubble more than a month ago. There were two cases of players testing positive upon their arrival at Disney, both of which were found before either made it out of the initial mandatory in-room quarantine.

The league’s play-in series for the last Western Conference playoff spot starts Saturday, and the postseason begins Monday.
