ORLANDO, Fla. — The CEO of the Orlando Magic held a press conference with team officials after the NBA suspended their season following the positive coronavirus test results of a Utah Jazz player.
During the conference, Alex Martins confirmed the team was on the same plane the infected player had previously been on, but that the team is not classified as having exposure to coronavirus, because Delta sanitized the plane between flights.
