The team did not disclose the identities of the two players who previously tested positive for the coronavirus. The Lakers went into self quarantine after news broke that four members of the Brooklyn Nets had tested positive for the disease.
Today's news comes just days after the Utah Jazz announced that both of their players who had tested positive, center Rudy Gobert and guard Donovan Mitchell, had both recovered and been cleared of the virus.
