Michael Malone said he had COVID-19 in March, but wasn't informed until months later.

"I'd say around March 20, I started not feeling well, and we began reaching out to team doctors to see if I could get a test. Unfortunately, at that time, there was no testing available.

"So, I only found out after the fact. I was able to get an anitbody test probably right around Memorial Day weekend. And not surprisingly, our team doctor called up and said, 'listen, you tested positive," said Malone.

Malone added that he looked hoped that the bubble would provide some safety from the virus. 

"I hope that going down to Orlando will be a safe environment, and we can limit the amount of people that actually get (COVID-19)."

Jamal Murray said that the Denver Nuggets can win the 2020 NBA title, adding that he doesn't think any team can beat them in a seven-game series.

"We know we can go win the title. Me and Joker have been in Denver this whole time, working out. ... we don't think that there is a team that can beat us in a seven-game series when we are playing at our best," said Murray.

The Nuggets are currently third in the Western Conference with a 44-20 record.

Murray added that Nikola Jokic has slimmed down, and looks much more athletic.

"Hey, Joker got a little four pack. I love it. ... Remember, probably [my] second year [2017-18], how skinny Joker was. ... It is kind of weird to see him like this where he is a lot more athletic, he is moving a lot better."

Jerami Grant has a $9.3 million player option for the 20-21 season with the Denver Nuggets that he revealed he expects to decline to become a free agent.

Grant was asked how the suspension of the NBA season due to COVID-19 might impact his free agency decision.

“A hundred percent, a hundred percent, I’m not going to sit up here and lie," said Grant. "Being a potential free agent, I gotta play offense. So being a potential free agent this upcoming summer… me playing to the level I’ve been playing has surprised a lot of people… I definitely think about trying to figure out what I’m going to do next season, whether it’s come back or not.

It’s tough though… It’s tough with all this going on. It’s hard to even gauge what’s going on. The salary cap might drop… It might drop a lot, it might drop a little bit. So I think everything just kind of hangs in the balance of what the owners want to do, what the NBA’s doing, with the rest of the season.”

Grant signed a three-year, $27.3 million contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2018.

“I’m definitely not leaning towards picking up the player option," said Grant to Chris Haynes. "Like you said, I feel like I definitely outplayed the $9 million that I’m making each year right now. But at the same time… I’d love to come to a conclusion or something like that with Denver, it just depends what we discuss and negotiate when the time comes.”
