The Detroit Pistons’ Christian Wood becomes the third NBA player to test positive for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. This comes days after Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell tested positive for the virus. Christian Wood and the Detroit Pistons played the Utah Jazz seven days before Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 seconds before tip-off of the Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder game. The news was broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
This marks the third positive test for coronavirus in the NBA — and the first franchise besides Gobert’s and Donovan Mitchell’s in Utah.
