DeAndre Jordan of the networks, Spencer Dinwiddie claims to have tested positive for the coronavirus

Brooklyn Nets center, DeAndre Jordan, has ruled out the resumption of the season in Orlando, Florida after testing positive for the coronavirus, and teammate Spencer Dinwiddie “is seriously considering” doing the same, according to as reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of the ESPN.

“I found out yesterday and confirmed today that I tested positive for Covid as I returned to the market,” Jordan posted on Twitter on Monday evening. “As a result, I won’t be in Orlando for the resumption of the season.”

The networks will sign a replacement for Jordan, according to Wojnarowski sources.

Dinwiddie told The Athletic last Monday that he was recently diagnosed with the virus and is not sure if he will be able to participate when the season resumes.

“In the past few months, I have been diligent in protecting myself and others from COVID-19 by following all of the designated protocols and quarantine,” Dinwiddie said in a statement. “I was ready and ready to reunite with my teammates … I flew privately to return to New York, passed several COVID-19 tests in my early days in New York and was able to participate in a couple of tests in the first week.

“Initially, we were supposed to be one of the teams to get into the Orlando bubble soon, but the training camp is back in New York and unfortunately now I’m positive. Since I had symptoms, including fever and chest tightness, it wasn’t unclear whether or not I will be able to participate in Orlando. “

Dinwiddie said it will remain in quarantine and reevaluated after 14 days.

The guard averaged 20.6 points, 6.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds for 30-34 goals, which were seventh in the East when the season ended. Goals are one of 22 NBA teams slated to resume matches on July 30 in Orlando, Florida.

Their goals will also be without Wilson Chandler ahead next month. Chandler informed the team that he has decided not to play, he told Malika Andrews of ESPN on Sunday.
