Multiple NBA teams have been tested for COVID-19, an illness caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus, but the Timberwolves are not one of them, a team spokesperson said Thursday.
Seven NBA players have tested positive, including Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, but the Wolves did not recently face any of the teams on which players tested positive, and no players have shown symptoms, the spokesperson said, so there has been no dire reason to test.
The NBA has come under criticism from officials like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who wondered how the NBA had such quick access to testing amid shortages across the country.
