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.

The NBA suspended the season on Wednesday after Gobert tested positive. On Thursday, it was revealed that Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell has the virus as well.
So far, Mitchell and Gobert are the only two NBA players that are known to have contracted the coronavirus.
The Raptors went 46-18 before the season got suspended. They have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, trailing only the Milwaukee Bucks who have the best record in the NBA again.
Gone are Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, and yet the Raptors are still rolling. Veteran point guard Kyle Lowry has been his usual All-Star self, while swingman Pascal Siakam made his first All-Star team this season.
If the season doesn't start up again, the Raptors will technically be the defending NBA champions. They defeated the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 Finals in six games behind eventual Finals MVP Leonard.
The Raptors defeated the Jazz on Monday by a final score of 101-92. The game was in Utah.
