Retired Nets center Jason Collins said he has tested positive for COVID-19.
He announced the news on Twitter on Tuesday morning and said he thinks he picked up the virus while attending a game for his former team on March 4.
"I believe I got it while on a trip to NYC at the beginning of the month for the Brooklyn Nets Pride night game," he said. "I had my first symptoms on [Wednesday, March] 11. Terrible headache. A few days later I had a fever and then the cough."
Collins, who played for 13 seasons in the NBA and eight with the Nets, said he went to the emergency room on Saturday after experiencing tightness in his chest.
