Kevin Durant, as well as three other players on the Brooklyn Nets, have tested positive for the Coronavirus. 

The three other players haven't been named yet, but Durant — who said he doesn't have any symptoms yet — spoke to the Athletic about the results.

"Everyone be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine," he advised. "We’re going to get through this."

The Brooklyn Nets issued a statement about its four players testing positive and said the team is now being quarantined.

"All players and members of the Nets travel party are being asked to remain isolated, closely monitor their health and maintain constant communication with team medical staff," the statement read in part. "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."

Other NBA players who've tested positive for the Coronavirus are Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, who seemed to shade Gobert for possibly infecting him and the Detroit Pistons' Christian Wood.
