Seven NBA players — including Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood and injured Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant — have tested positive for the coronavirus so far. Three infected players currently remain unnamed.
The NBA suspended its 2019-20 season indefinitely last Wednesday after Gobert tested positive for the virus that same day.
