LPhiladelphia full-back Seth Curry, absent from the lost NBA season game (122-109) in Brooklyn on Thursday night, tested positive for Covid-19, forcing the entire team to quarantine immediately, in New York, report the American media.
The 76ers, current leaders of the Eastern Conference, did not confirm the information.

According to ESPN, the Pennsylvania franchise learned just before the game that Curry had contracted the coronavirus. The latter, already forfeited due to a painful ankle, was immediately placed in solitary confinement and left the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
–
But he had played with Philly the day before, in the win against Washington. Consequently, all his teammates as well as the members of the technical staff – potential contact cases – must observe a quarantine.

The 76ers’ next game is scheduled for Saturday at home against Denver.
Since the start of the season, a December 23 meeting between Houston and Oklahoma City had to be postponed in part due to the coronavirus, several players having been contacted when others were injured. So much so that the Rockets did not have enough players to line up.
This match has still not been rescheduled.
