The NBA on TNT crew was back on TV on Thursday night but there were no new games to broadcast and there was one big person missing from the show – Charles Barkley.
The NBA legend called into the show and explained that he has not been feeling well since a trip to New York City and that he is currently awaiting the results of a coronavirus test that he took Thursday afternoon.
Barkley said he is under self-quarantine for 48 hours and has another day to go in the process.

Chuck called in, says that he is currently in self-quarantine after taking a test for the coronavirus.
