NBA players could wear smart rings to detect COVID-19 symptoms

NBA players will reportedly use a wearable to track their health and look for COVID-19 symptoms when the season resumes in late July.

The smart ring, made by Oura Health, will provide early warning signs if a player is in danger of contracting the coronavirus and could help track coronavirus symptoms up to three days before they show up.

This directive follows a memo by the National Basketball Players Association to its players this week laying out several safety measures that will be implemented when the season restarts at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
