Today the Nets defeated the 76ers, but Curry did not play, and was finally determined to be diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia. The team will stay in New York for isolation and track the contact history of the infected players.
The NBA began to implement a strict quarantine policy this season. Many teams and players have been quarantined because of possible contact with potentially infected people, which has affected the arrangement of games and training.
The 76ers had previously played against the Wizards, and Curry played in the game, and the Wizards may also need to undergo a full inspection.
However, the news said that the Nets still plan to fly to Memphis for an away game with the Grizzlies.
Interestingly, netball star Kyrie Irving was absent from the game today due to personal reasons, making him “lucky” to avoid contact with 76ers. Some netizens teased whether Irving was a “prophet.”
