The Golden State Warriors’ early March contest against the Philadelphia 76ers was arguably one of their best wins of the 2019-20 season. Damion Lee paced Golden State with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field with six rebounds and three assists.
Eric Paschall recorded 23 points and three assists off the bench in the Warriors’ furious comeback win. Golden State entered the final quarter of the game down eight points. However, timely shooting by Mychal Mulder rallied the Warriors’ upset victory.
Just days later, the state of the NBA drastically changed. The league suspended the season until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Twelve days after Philadelphia traveled to Chase Center, the Sixers announced three members of their organization received positive test results for COVID-19.

Before the NBA hiatus was underway, Golden State was slated to host the Brooklyn Nets as their next opponent in San Francisco. Members of the Nets have also tested positive for COVID-19, including former Warrior Kevin Durant.
The Sixers and Nets join the Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers as NBA teams with members who’ve tested positive for coronavirus.
