Only eight days are left before the start of the Endesa League final tournament. What's more, this Thursday the teams are already moving to Valencia , to be concentrated in their hotels with all the sanitary measures dictated by the ACB, at the request of the CSD. And in Malaga all the alarms have been triggered this Monday afternoon, suddenly.

First was a statement from Unicaja, which indicated the positive of a member of the expedition who was going to travel to La Fonteta . He did not specify his name or if he was a player, coach or part of the staff. Only that he was asymptomatic and that, by established protocols, he would be isolated from the rest.

Shortly after, the affected person himself explained through a statement on his social networks what happened. This is Francis Alonso, the escort trained at the NCAA (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) who had been assigned this course in Fuenlabrada -with little prominence- and then in Oviedo from LEB Oro. In recent weeks he was back in Malaga , training as one with the rest of the team and was going to be part of the group under Luis Casimiro in the final tournament. The strange thing about the case, according to the person himself, is that the tests they carried out days ago determined that "Covid-19 had already passed, which was not active, that is, that it had antibodies."

"It was something surprising for me, since I had been completely asymptomatic . The club carried out tests on my family, all of whom were negative. From that moment, I was discharged in order to train," explains the man from Malaga, who reveals that in the last PCR tests The "positive" appears and that, "despite not being able to infect, the ACB has established protocols that must be respected and that makes it very difficult for me to participate in the tournament." "Thankful that no one has been harmed in this situation. I am aware that this could have been much worse, both for me and for the people around me, and I am grateful," said Alonso.

After the announcement, some reactions were immediate. Nikola Mirotic has shown his suspicion in a tweet. "A Unicaja player has tested positive for COVID19," he wrote, after attaching a question mark emoticon. Barça will face the Malaga team next Friday 19, since they are framed in the same group, A.
