It appears the NBA bubble is working.
None of the 346 players tested for the coronavirus in the last week had a positive result, the league announced Monday.
The last time results were released, on July 13, two players tested positive.
With these new results, there was no change in the 19 total NBA players who have tested positive for COVID-19 since July 1.
Twenty-five players had tested positive between June 23 and July 2, according to the Associated Press.
Even with the encouraging results, precautions must remain in place. Players continue to arrive in the bubble and other people not associated with teams are also there.

The league will continue testing players and said in a statement that if someone does have a positive result, he will be isolated.
Nevertheless, this is very good news for the league as practice is ramping up with games on the horizon.
The Thunder have three scrimmage games, the first of which is Friday, and play its first real game of the NBA resumption on Aug. 1. Tipoff is at 2:30 p.m.
