Kevin Durant, one of the best basketball players in the world, has tested positive for the corona virus, just like three teammates at NBA club Brooklyn Nets.
Durant, 31, reports Tuesday The Athletic that he feels good and has no symptoms. “Be careful everyone, take care of yourself and stay in quarantine,” said the forward. “We’re going through this.”
Ten-time All-Star Durant, which came over from Golden State Warriors last summer, has not played a game this season due to a torn Achilles tendon.
Brooklyn Nets announced earlier on Tuesday that four players have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, without naming names. Only one of the basketball players shows symptoms.
Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert was the first NBA player to test positive for the corona virus last week. The North American basketball league was then shut down. Gobert’s teammate Donovan Mitchell and Detroit Pistons player Christian Wood are also known to be infected.

The coronavirus in short
- The coronavirus mainly spreads through sneezes and cough drops. The virus can be transmitted directly from person to person or (for a limited time) through surfaces such as door handles.
- An infected person infects two to three others on average. Precautions are necessary to contain this.
- The vast majority of patients have mild (flu-like) complaints.
- Nearly all deaths involve the elderly or other frail, such as heart, lung or diabetes patients. If everyone complies with the measures, this reduces their risks.
- Read here what precautions you should take.
