A Philadelphia 76ers player has tested positive for COVID-19 during Thursday night's game against the Nets forcing the entire team to quarantine in Brooklyn, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Seth Curry, who did not play on Thursday due to an ankle injury, went into isolation and according to Ramona Shelburne, he is the player who tested positive. Shelburne also reports that Joel Embiid was sitting next to Curry on the bench and has decided to self-quarantine from his family as a result.
During the game—the second of a back to back—the Sixers struggled and mostly played without much energy. Head coach Doc Rivers said after the game, "The team didn’t come to play. We deserved to lose.”
