Sky guard Sydney Colson revealed on Twitter Saturday morning that she has tested positive for the coronavirus.
“I do the least and tested positive so I’m tryna see how folks who do the mooost are out here partying and feelin grand,” Colson tweeted.
Colson’s announcement comes during the same week the Sky welcomed back their out-of-market players to undergo physicals and begin individual workouts at Sachs Recreation Center, their practice facility in Deerfield, as they prepare for their upcoming 22-game season.
Part of the screening process over the next few weeks includes three rounds of coronavirus testing before players can travel to Bradenton, Florida, where training camps and the season are expected to take place next month.
Colson’s positive test result means she has to self-isolate and follow the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s protocol. She won’t be able to travel to Florida until she has two negative test results, ESPN reported.
Colson, whom the Sky signed this offseason to back up point guard Courtney Vandersloot, is the second Sky player who has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Center Stefanie Dolson said in April that her entire family tested positive for the coronavirus.
