    Gonna speculate. Sorry, HIPAA.

    Total guess, but based on activity on social, gut instinct, and what Quick said here. It's not:
    - Zach
    - Nurk
    - Melo
    - Derrick Jones (already had it this summer)
    - Dame (was live from IG in his gym yesterday)
    - CJ (really active on social)
    - Giles (was driving around in his Toyota yesterday, on IG)
    - Blevins (video with Dame's kid on his IG)
    - Ant
    - Covington
    - Kanter
    - Trent
    -Little

    It's one among:
    Hood/Elleby

    Neither has posted anything the past 4 days anywhere.

    Looks like the facility is open again, even if they’re not practicing until tomorrow. No way you sit on this footage!

    I'll be honest. Braided Melo makes me like Melo.

    And Terry is rebounding for him, crazy. Head coaches don't do that

    Hood
    Melo
    DJJ
    CJ
    Kanter

    Covington just posted a bunch of random inspirational quotes on his story. People who do that are usually not in a good state of mind. :biglaugh:

    My guess is actually Little. We've heard literally nothing about Little since about a month ago and there was never pictures of Little at the practice facility. No one from the team has mentioned Little in any interviews.

    By the way, I'm almost certain the COVID19 positive player is Nassir Little. There's been 0 footage of him in camp. Even Elleby had some photos in the practice facility. When the NBA announced that 48 players tested positive for COVID in the first go that was probably when Nas got the positive test. It fits with other confirmed cases from other teams. Draymond Green and James Wiseman have been missing from the Warrior's practice facility since last week and Kerr basically confirmed that both had COVID today. The Blazers have also "mysteriously" avoided talking about Nas at all, from the front office to the coaches, to all the other players who were made available for the media to ask questions to (I bet the media were prohibited from asking questions about Nas). Speaking of which, every other player has had some media availability except Nas, even though he was on the team last year. Literally, there is not one single mention of Nas from anyone who is in or have had contact with the organization since about a month ago.

    Actually there was one mention by Neil here:



    Neil here mentions that Nassir is in market, and that COVID tests start the day after. And after that is when photos started coming out of the practice facility. So yeah, it's probably Nassir. The other two people that tested positive was probably what triggered shutting the facility down.

    WSU has been ravaged by covid lately, and he was there after he was drafted, my guess is Elleby.

    slightly worried if it's Nas. didn't he have some fainting issues while in the bubble? my $ is still on CJ2. I follow Little's dad on twitter, and there's like no indication of anything wrong in his tweets

    ok it’s either Nas or Elleby. Everyone else has appeared within the last two days.

    It also looks like Ant has put on some muscle.
