"I’ve had no symptoms and I feel great. But the younger generation in our country MUST self distance. This is not a joke. Not doing so is selfish. Together we can beat this, but we must beat it together by being apart for a short while. Much love!!", he added.
The count of known cases in the league is up to 14: Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz, Christian Wood of the Detroit Pistons, Kevin Durant and three other Nets players, one member of the Denver Nuggets organization, three individuals within the Philadelphia 76ers organization, two Lakers and now Marcus Smart.
