Washington Mystics forward Emma Meesseman has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to Patrick Ceulemans of Het Nieuwsblad, a Dutch language Belgian newspaper.
In Ceulemans’ report, Meesseman will miss two qualifying games for Women’s EuroBasket 2021 in Portugal for the Belgium women’s national basketball team. Those matches are against Portugal on Nov. 12 and Ukraine on Nov. 14.
Belgium currently has the highest rate of coronavirus cases in the world per capita as of the day of this post and Meesseman is Belgian. But that may just be a coincidence because she has played for UMMC Ekaterinburg in Russia for nearly a month, only in domestic competition.
