The coronavirus appears to have hit the NBA again and this time a third player is now under quarantine. According to NBA officials, Christian Wood of the Detroit Pistons has tested positive for the virus after playing against the Utah Jazz (after their own teammate also tested positive for his careless behaviour.)
