Kevin Durant Among Four Brooklyn Nets Players To Test Positive For Coronavirus

Kevin Durant is among the four Brooklyn Nets players to test positive for the coronavirus.

The 31-year old NBA star shared a statement via The Atlantic, saying, “Everyone be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine,” he then added he is feeling fine and not showing any symptoms. “We’re going to get through this.”

ESPN reports:

The Nets did not identify any players and said Tuesday that of the four players, only one is exhibiting symptoms. All four are isolated and are undergoing medical care from team physicians, the Nets said in a statement.

Sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that the player who has symptoms experienced aches when he woke up Tuesday.

Sources told Wojnarowski that the Nets had players tested by a private company, and that the team paid out of pocket, after they had returned from San Francisco last week. The test results came back Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers will get tested Wednesday after learning of the Nets’ positive tests, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. The Lakers were the last opponents of the Nets last week before games were suspended.

The four Nets players join Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell and the Pistons‘ Christian Wood as NBA players known to have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

“All players and members of the Nets travel party are being asked to remain isolated, closely monitor their health and maintain constant communication with team medical staff,” the Nets said in a statement. “The health of our players and staff is of the highest priority to the organization and the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible.”

Sending positive vibes to Kevin Durant.
