(CBSNewYork)- Former Brooklyn Nets center Jason Collins announced on his Twitter account Tuesday that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and says he believes he contracted the virus while on a trip to NYC earlier this month.
I tested positive for COVID19. I believe I got it while on a trip to NYC at the beginning of the month for the Brooklyn Nets Pride night game. I had my first symptoms on Wed Mar 11. Terrible headache. A few days later I had a fever and then the cough.
