The NBA on Monday said zero players had tested positive in its latest round of coronavirus testing at its bubble resort in Orlando, Florida.
Two players tested positive for the virus during the NBA's first round of testing earlier in the month.
"Of the 346 players tested for COVID-19 on the NBA campus since test results were last announced on July 13, zero have returned confirmed positive tests," the NBA said in a statement.
"In the event that a player on the NBA campus returns a confirmed positive test in the future, he will be isolated until he is cleared for leaving isolation under the rules established by the NBA and the Players Association."
On the same day, the NBA also revealed the rosters for all 22 teams participating in the season's resumption at ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex.
The injured Brooklyn Nets stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, neither of whom made the trip to Orlando, are notable omissions, while the Los Angeles Clippers duo Johnathan Motley and Mfiondu Kabengele are also absent.
NBA games are set to restart July 30 after the league was paused in March during the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 140,000 people in the US alone.
