The NBA is offering the ring to players as they head back to the hardwood next month.
The maker of the Oura Ring says it can track a user's health data and even predict if users are about to show symptoms of coronavirus infection.
The $299 ring is designed to monitor sleep, pulse, movement, heart activity and temperature.
But there's not much information yet on how well the device actually works for COVID-19.
