Sacramento Kings forward Jabari Parker has tested positive for COVID-19 but will join the team prior to the NBA's planned restart in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, per a team statement released on Wednesday:

The Atlanta Hawks traded Parker and center Alex Len to the Kings on Feb. 6 for big man Dewayne Dedmon and a pair of second-round draft picks. 

Parker has only played one game for the Kings due to a right shoulder injury and an illness. However, he was scheduled to suit up for his team's March 11 game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

However, that matchup was canceled after the NBA suspended its season following Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test result.

The campaign has been on hold ever since, but the league plans to resume play with 22 of its 30 teams beginning on July 30 at ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World.
