On Thursday night, POTUS Donald Trump announced he had tested positive for COVID-19. Curiously, Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news before Trump himself announced the bad news on his Twitter. NBA players reacted to the announcement, with some showing their concern while others were quick to remind everybody to wear a mask and practice social distancing to prevent getting infected.
President Donald Trump and the First Lady have tested positive for coronavirus.

The president announced he is in quarantine with his wife now, hoping to recover as soon as possible.
In recent months, Trump’s disdain with the NBA has increased and things don’t seem to be changing anytime soon.
