Kevin Durant
Says He Has Tested Positive for the CoronaVirus

Brooklyn
Nets star Kevin Durant tested positive for the coronavirus but said he’s
“feeling fine,” according to Shams Charania of Stadium and The
Athletic.

Everyone be
careful, take care of yourself and quarantine, Durant said. “We’re going
to get through this.”

The World
Health Organization has confirmed more than 184,000 cases of CoronaVirus
worldwide, leading to over 7,500 deaths all over the world.

The Nets
said Tuesday four players tested positive for CoronaVirus, though only one was
exhibiting symptoms, per Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press. The other three
were asymptomatic.

Per
Charania, Durant was one of the three not experiencing symptoms.

According to
the Nets statement, three of the four players did not show symptoms of the
disease. A spokesman for the Nets declined to provide specifics about how the
team got the tests.

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, the Nets said in a statement.

All players
on the roster have been asked to remain isolated.

The NBA
suspended its regular season Thursday after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested
positive for the coronavirus. His teammate Donovan Mitchell also tested
positive as well as Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood.

Durant has
been inactive all season while rehabbing from the ruptured Achilles tendon he
suffered in the NBA Finals in June.

It should be
noted that there have been 1,98,426 cases of Coronavirus reported from all over
the world.

Out of which
7,987 people have been killed and 82,763 have gone home after recovery.
