The Gophers men's basketball team returned to practice Saturday after pausing team activities because of COVID-19, a source told the Star Tribune.
Multiple players on both the men's and women's basketball teams had tested positive for the coronavirus, but they had no serious symptoms.
The Gophers men announced Tuesday that team activities were on pause, but the women had already started practicing again since last Friday.
Richard Pitino's team is preparing to open its season Nov. 25 against Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Gophers athletes who test positive enter protocol and quarantine, but they communicate with the medical staff. They must undergo additional testing and be cleared by a physician before returning to activities.

No fans at Wolves games
When the NBA season opens next month, the Timberwolves won't have any fans in attendance at Target Center for at least the first part of the season because of the coronavirus, chief operating officer Ryan Tanke said Saturday.
Tanke said the Wolves will continue to work with state and local health officials and is hopeful they can allow some fans in the arena at some point in the season.
