First Name Tom, Last Name Foolery… And I’m Everybody’s Uncle!
Especially this Brooklyn Net… Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant is among the four Brooklyn Nets players to test positive for coronavirus, he told The Athletic on Tuesday.
"Everyone be careful, take care of yourself & quarantine," Durant told The Athletic, adding that he is feeling fine & not showing any symptoms.
"We're going to get through this."
The Nets did not identify any players & said Tuesday that of the four players, only one is exhibiting symptoms. All four are isolated & are undergoing medical care from team physicians, the team said in a statement.
Sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that the player experiencing symptoms woke up Tuesday with some aches.
Sources told Wojnarowski that the Nets had players tested by a private company, for which the team paid out of pocket, after they had returned from San Francisco. The test results came back Tuesday.
The four players join Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert & Donovan Mitchell & the Pistons' Christian Wood as NBA players known to have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.
The Nets did not play the Jazz or the Pistons over the last two weeks of their season.
The Nets said they are currently notifying anyone who has had contact with the players, including recent opponents, & are working closely with state and local health authorities.
"All players & members of the Nets travel party are being asked to remain isolated, closely monitor their health & maintain constant communication with team medical staff," the Nets said in a statement.
"The health of our players & staff is of the highest priority to the organization & the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible."
