The news comes after the Denver Nuggets announced earlier in the day that they had one member of their organization test positive for the disease as well.
In their final game before the suspension of the NBA season over a week ago on Mar. 11, the Sixers played the Detroit Pistons, who had one of their players also test positive for the coronavirus.
