This marks the third positive test for coronavirus in the NBA — and the first franchise besides Gobert’s and Donovan Mitchell’s in Utah. Wood has had a career season and is in line for a strong free-agent contract. https://t.co/ShtooDGFSB

Wood went on to play the Sixers on Wednesday which means that team will probably have to be tested for coronavirus.
