So far, only Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have tested positive for Coronavirus.
While it’s not known where they caught it from, COVID-19 has made its way all around the globe — including San Fransisco, where Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors call home.

Some meetings, and I … So when he was sick the next day I thought, “Oh, man.” You know, I needed to send Steph home.

It’s good that Curry was spared, but situation is still a long way away from being over.
