A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the contact was with a barber who is regularly tested for COVID-19 and often works with Embiid and Simmons. Both Embiid and Simmons saw the barber in recent days before traveling to Atlanta and have continued to test negative, said the person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Sunday because those details were not released publicly.
