A third NBA player has tested positive for coronavirus. Two members of the Utah Jazz tested positive, now Christian Wood of the Detroit Pistons is a confirmed case.
The Pistons played the Jazz on March 7.
A rep for the Pistons said: ”A player on the Detroit Pistons, who is under the care of team medical staff and in self-isolation since Wednesday night, was tested for COVID-19. A preliminary positive result came back on March 14. The individual will remain in isolation and under the care of team medical staff.”
Utah’s Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell previously tested positive; Gobert and Wood were paired for about 10 minutes during the March 7 game. The Pistons played the Knicks and the 76ers after that game, and Wood had significant playing time in each of those games.
