The basketable Nets team announced on the 17th that four players in the team were infected with the coronavirus, but no list was released, but Durant himself confirmed to the media that he was one of them.
Xinhua News Agency, Washington, March 17 (reporter Wang Jiyi) local media reported on the 17th that NBA Brooklyn basketable Nets star Durant and the remaining three players of the team were infected with the new Crown pneumonia, at present, the number of players known to be infected by the virus in the league has reached seven, but the ability of stars to enjoy “priority detection” has also caused controversy.
The basketable Nets team announced on the 17th that four players in the team were infected with the coronavirus, but no list was released, but Durant himself confirmed to the media that he was one of them. “Everyone must be careful and take good care of themselves. Once there is a problem, it must be isolated and treated. We are going through all this now.” Durant told the local media.
Basketable Nets said that one of the four had symptoms of covid-19, while the other three had no symptoms. The four players had been isolated and recovered under the guidance of the team doctor. “The health of the players and team staff is the top priority of the team. We are now doing our best to help these infected players recover and ensure that they are safe.” Basketable Nets said in a statement issued on the same day.
Due to the increasing number of new coronavirus cases, New York City, where basketable nets is located, has already entered a state of emergency. Stars can be tested, but it is difficult for ordinary people to get the chance of testing, the “privilege” of the basketable Nets team members also made New York mayor Bai Sihao somewhat dissatisfied. He “fired” on social media and said, “We hope they will recover soon. I respect them very much, but I still can’t help saying that so many critically ill patients cannot be tested for viruses, why is it so easy for an entire NBA team to get it? Testing should not serve the rich, but the patients who really need it.”
The French center Gobel, who played for the Utah Jazz, was the first case of NBA players to be detected with the new Crown pneumonia. After Gobel was diagnosed, NBA immediately announced the “stop” of the season “, later, George Gobel’s Jazz teammates Mitchell and Detroit Piston forward Wood also announced their winning. So far, seven NBA players have been infected.
Before and after the NBA shutdown, team basketable nets was on an away trip to California. In the first shutdown day, there were basketable Nets teams playing against the Golden State Warriors, although the game did not take place in the end, but warrior Coach Cole still felt a little worried about this. He said: “I’m a little worried. I hope that the players didn’t make an appointment to go out for dinner that night before the match. I really don’t know whether they have met each other.”
Basketable Nets said that the club had informed all close contacts, including the teams against basketable nets recently. Previously, the piston team and jazz were rivals, and the possibility of mutual infection between players was not ruled out.
