After the Brooklyn Nets reported four positive coronavirus cases, other NBA clubs reached out to the team seeking insight on testing, per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.

Nets superstar small forward and two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant is among the four Brooklyn players who tested positive for COVID-19:

In the time since, eight teams have been tested for the virus at medical centers or labs that the NBA established connection with weeks earlier. After the Nets reported four positive COVID-19 cases, other teams solicited the Nets, seeking insight on testing, sources told ESPN.

NBA teams have obtained tests privately. It hasn't sat well with some people, like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

NBPA exec Michele Roberts said in response to those criticisms, “The problem that more of us can't get the tests — and I'm not apologetic about saying it — in my view rests at the foot of the federal government. They were responsible for making sure we were protected in that regard, and I think they failed. We shouldn't be fighting about this now … but once this is done and we get through it, and we will, let's figure out who screwed up and fix that.”

The NBA would like to resume play in the summer if it can. The CDC is currently advising no events which have 50 or more people for the next two months.

As predicted by most pundits, there are more and more people in the NBA population (including the Nets) getting positive coronavirus tests. Hopefully, this wave of positive tests dies down sooner rather than later.
