Earlier today, it was reported that four Brooklyn Nets players tested positive for the coronavirus and have been quarantined. Now it has surfaced that Kevin Durant is one of the four. Currently, all four are undergoing medical care from team physicians and are isolated.
Kevin Durant tested positive for coronavirus, Durant tells @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Durant says he is feeling fine: "Everyone be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine. We're going to get through this."

Not all of the players who tested positive have symptoms and as of now, only one feels ill. That player woke up with aches earlier today.
Durant tells The Athletic that everyone should stay quarantined.
As a result of the news, Los Angeles Lakers will be tested tomorrow, considering they were the last team to play the Nets before games were suspended.
Up until now, Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Christian Wood and the four Brooklyn players are the only ones to test positive for the COVID-19 virus. Many more are being tested as we speak, so expect results as the week progresses.
