The Brooklyn Nets were supposed to play the Warriors in front of no fans at Chase Center last Thursday. Originally, Kevin Durant was supposed to attend. It’s a good thing neither of those happened.
Shortly after a report that four players on the Nets tested positive for coronavirus, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that one of those players is Durant.
Durant says he’s feeling good and has not experienced any symptoms.
“Everyone be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine,” he told Charania. “We’re going to get through this.”

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talked to the media earlier, and expressed his hope that none of the Warriors players hung out with the Nets players leading up to the game.
“I’m hoping none of our guys went and hung out with any of their players the night before our game,” he said via Anthony Slater. “I don’t know if that’s the case or not.”
