Kevin Durant is one of four Brooklyn Nets squad members to have tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of NBA players positive to seven.
The U.S. has come under criticism for the limited amount of testing available, due to a series of technical and manufacturing glitches.
More worryingly, a large number of the test kits produced in the U.S. were since deemed faulty as they delivered confusing results and CDC reported only 200 tests were used by laboratories in the U.S. in three weeks through to the end of February. The Nets did not identify the players and said the quartet was isolated and receiving medical care from team doctors. Of the four, the Nets added, only one player was showing symptoms.
"The health of our players and staff is of the highest priority to the organization, and the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible."
