Brooklyn did not announce which players were diagnosed and there is no report on which players they are. The Nets have two former Wizards, Garrett Temple and Chris Chiozza on their team.
The Wizards last played the Nets on Feb. 26, which Washington won, 110-106. If the NBA season wasn’t suspended, they would have played at Barclays Center tomorrow.
We wish that all diagnosed players get well soon. And man I hate this virus.
