LeBron James Doesn't Actually Have COVID, Test Was a False Positive

LeBron James had to miss the Los Angeles Lakers’ game on Tuesday night because he was subjected to the NBA’s coronavirus protocols, but now we’ve learned he does not actually have COVID-19.

The 36-year-old basketball star initially tested positive for the virus, but it was actually a false positive.

James was originally placed in the Protocols on Tuesday, November 30 after a series of tests delivered conflicting results, including an initial positive test that was collected on November 29. Additional testing confirmed that he is not a positive case,” the league said.

The statement continued, “In accordance with the Protocols, and the consistent testing practice that has been in place since the 2019-20 Season Restart in Orlando, the sample that produced the initial positive test was re-run twice and returned one negative and one positive result on two different PCR instruments. As a result, James underwent additional testing on November 30, with one test returning a negative result and a second test resulting in a clinically inconclusive result.”

LeBron recently said he didn’t like a popular Netflix show’s ending and the creator responded!
