Nets' Michael Beasley: Tests positive for COVID-19

Beasley recently tested positive for COVID-19 and is not currently with the Nets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Beasley signed with the Nets last week as a replacement player, but his status for the restart of the 2019-20 season is now very much up in the air. The 2008 No. 2 overall pick returned home after testing positive, so if he does rejoin the Nets, he'll likely have to quarantine for a period of time after returning to Orlando. Beasley was already set to serve an outstanding five-game suspension stemming from a past violation of the league's anti-drug policy, so he's not eligible to play until Aug. 9.
