The outbreak of COVID-19 has swept sports under the rug right now as everybody continues to self-quarantine themselves in an all-around effort to fight the virus. It has hit the NBA as there have been a handful of players who have tested positive for coronavirus and that includes a recent Philadelphia 76ers opponent.
Detroit Pistons big man Christian Wood faced off with the Sixers on March 11 on the final day of the season before the suspension and he was tested positive for it on March 14. That then caused the Sixers to get tested and three members within the organization tested positive.
There is some good news for Wood, however, as the big man has made a full recovery from coronavirus. The Detroit Free Press reported the news and said:
Wood, the only Detroit Pistons player known to have contracted the virus, is “feeling great and fully recovered,” according to his agent, Adam Pensack.
A source familiar with the situation said Wood has to pass a few medical tests and is expected to be cleared Thursday.
This is great news for Wood as he can now continue on with his life and hopefully, this means that the three Sixers members who tested positive will be able to recover in a similar way. [lawrence-related id=28229,28223,28213]
