Magic coach Steve Clifford has returned a positive COVID-19 test, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Charania says that Clifford has received his first vaccine and is considered asymptomatic, and there’s hope that the test result is a false positive. Results of the tests are considered inconclusive, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Magic canceled Saturday’s practice, according to Roy Parry of The Orlando Sentinel, but a team official said they are hopeful they can play Sunday’s game against the Pacers.
Clifford held a Zoom call with reporters and said he has no COVID-19 symptoms and feels fine, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. Clifford said he had a positive test Thursday night, followed by two negative tests Friday and another positive this morning. He underwent another test on Saturday and will be tested again Sunday morning.
