Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe has tested positive for COVID-19, but has said he doesn’t have any symptoms associated with the coronavirus.

Bledsoe hasn’t been with the team since they reported to Orlando last week, the Journal Sentinel reported.

The Bucks began a second training camp early this month but shut it down after someone from the organization tested positive for the coronavirus. They didn’t name the person at the time.

Bledsoe is among other NBA players to announce positive COVID-19 tests since teams started reporting to the bubble at Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex last week, including Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook, Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes and Indiana’s Malcolm Brogdon.

Bledsoe is averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game this season.

All 22 NBA teams invited to conclude the season will play eight games before the postseason begins.
