All Toronto Raptors players have tested negative for the coronavirus.
The Raptors played the Utah Jazz on Monday. Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus on Wednesday.
Even though the Raptors players' tests came back negative, the incubation period for the virus is two weeks, so the disease can take two weeks to appear.
