Sources: Nuggets center Nikola Jokic tests positive for coronavirus, is still in Serbia

Nuggets franchise center Nikola Jokic has tested positive for the coronavirus and is currently back in Serbia, multiple league sources told The Denver Post.

Citing medical privacy, the Nuggets declined comment.

All NBA players were to be back in market on June 22, and players who were overseas were to be back in market on June 15. Jokic was granted an exception by the NBA to stay in Sombor longer, however, during his recent trip, he tested positive.

Mandatory individual workouts in home markets begin July 1.

Eight days ago Jokic was in Belgrade for an exhibition basketball game. One of the players who participated in the game, and was later seen in close proximity to Jokic, later tested positive.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic, who was also sitting next to Jokic at the event, announced he had tested positive on Tuesday morning.
