Four members of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team, including superstar Kevin Durant, have tested positive for the coronavirus, just days after the NBA halted play to help contain the outbreak.

Durant told the Athletic that he’s feeling fine after learning of the test result. Earlier Tuesday, the team announced one of the four unidentified players had exhibited symptoms of coronavirus. All four are isolated and under the care of team doctors.
