Fully-vaccinated NBA player LeBron James has allegedly tested positive for COVID-19 and will be out for Tuesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to Los Angeles Lakers reporter Mike Trudell.

The positive test result comes just days after the NBA encouraged players and coaches to get COVID-19 booster shots, Associated Press reported.
If Lebron James' positive test result fails to be a false-positive or inconclusive result, the player will be out for a minimum of ten days and will have to submit two negative tests results within 24 hrs to return; which is in accordance with the NBA's health and safety protocols.
Last week, LeBron James was fined $15,000 over what league officials called an "obscene gesture" he made during the game.
