Coronavirus outbreak: Four Brooklyn Nets players including Durant test positive

NBA star Kevin Durant is reportedly among four Brooklyn Nets players who have tested positive for the new coronavirus and are in isolation. The injured Durant, who is yet to play for the Nets since signing for the club last year, confirmed to The Athletic website he had tested positive for the virus. Here's further details on the same.

"Four Brooklyn Nets players have tested positive for the Covid-19 virus," the team said in a statement. "Of the four, one player is exhibiting symptoms while three are asymptomatic. All four players are presently isolated and under the care of team physicians." Meanwhile, Durant claimed, "Everyone be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine. We're going to get through this," Durant said.

The Nets said they were notifying known contacts of the players including those from teams who played against the Nets shortly before the NBA shut down its season indefinitely on March 12. Western Conference-leading Los Angeles Lakers, were the last team to have played the Nets. Notably, the Lakers were stunned 104-102 by Brooklyn on March 10.
