Named as the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2017, Brogdon has since signed a four-year contract with the Pacers in free agency, leaving the Milwaukee Bucks.
Through 48 games this season, Brogdon has averaged 16.3 points, 7.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game, with the Pacers currently holding a record of 39-26, fifth place in the Eastern Conference during the NBA’s hiatus.
The news of Brogdon testing positive for the novel coronavirus adds his name to the growing list of NBA players to test positive, with Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic’s diagnosis made public yesterday. Other notable players to test positive include Kevin Durant as well as Utah Jazz teammates Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell.
