Another member of the NBA has tested positive for the coronavirus — this time a former player. Longtime veteran Jason Collins announced Tuesday via Twitter that he tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing many of the symptoms.
After learning of his diagnosis, Collins released the following statement: «I tested positive for COVID19. I believe I got it while on a trip to NYC at the beginning of the month for the Brooklyn Nets Pride night game.
I had my first symptoms on Wed Mar 11. Terrible headache. A few days later I had a fever and then the cough. On Saturday I went to the ER and got tested and spoke with some docs about the tightness in my chest.
