The Nets had no official comment.
“We can’t disclose who may or may not be tested (or when), and would need a reason to test … if there was contact with someone who had it or if they had symptoms,” a team spokesman told the New York Post.
Brooklyn defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on the road on Tuesday. The NBA season was suspended on Wednesday.
