Doris Burke tests positive for COVID-19

ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke revealed Thursday that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

Burke, a former Providence College basketball star and respected NBA analyst, told colleague Adrian Wojnarowski on his podcast that she started feeling sick on March 11.

Still, she worked the Nuggets-Mavericks game that night on ESPN, which was also the night news broke that Jazz center Rudy Gobert had tested positive for the virus. No NBA games have been played since.

Burke said she received the results confirming her positive diagnosis on Wednesday, eight days after she was tested and has not had symptoms since.
