The team is not releasing the name of the player who contracted the virus, but Winderman reports it is a member of the rotation. Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. tested positive on June 25.
The Los Angeles Clippers reportedly closed their practice facility on Thursday after a member of the team’s travelling party tested positive.
