Report: Raptors' Ibaka tests negative for coronavirus after guarding Gobert

Raptors centre Serge Ibaka has tested negative for COVID-19, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported on Friday.

Ibaka was the primary defender responsible for covering Utah’s Rudy Gobert throughout most of Monday’s Jazz-Raptors contest, a 101-92 win for Toronto. After Gobert tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday night ahead of the Jazz’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Raptors team was quarantined and tested for COVID-19.

In addition to Ibaka, the entire group travelling with the Raptors on their recent road trip has reportedly tested negative for the disease — save for one person whose results are pending.
