Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan told a WFAN radio host that he believes all team members will be tested for coronavirus, or COVID-19, yesterday.
“Just ran into DeAndre Jordan at Whole Foods, he says he thinks the entire Nets team is getting tested for COVID-19 tomorrow,” Maggie Gray posted Friday on Twitter. She co-hosts the “Moose and Maggie” show on weekday mornings.
The Nets had no official comment.
“We can’t disclose who may or may not be tested (or when), and would need a reason to test … if there was contact with someone who had it or if they had symptoms,” a team spokesman told the New York Post.
Brooklyn defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on the road on Tuesday. The NBA season was suspended on Wednesday.
Two Utah players, Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, have tested positive for the coronavirus, but the Nets have not played the Jazz since Jan. 14.
