Report: 76ers Guard Seth Curry Tests Positive for COVID-19

76ers guard Seth Curry reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, with the team learning of his positive result near the start of Thursday night's game.

76ers guard Seth Curry has tested positive for COVID-19, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

The team was made aware of Curry's positive result near the start of Thursday's game against the Nets. He was already sitting out of the game with left ankle soreness while Shake Milton started in his absence. Prior to the team learning of the positive result, Curry spent the first quarter on the bench, wearing a mask and sitting next to assistant coach Sam Cassell and center Joel Embiid. He then went to an isolation room and left the arena separate from the team.

Following the Sixers' 122–109 loss to Brooklyn, the team stayed in New York on Thursday night and will undergo contact tracing on Friday. Philadelphia plans to do a new round of testing in accordance with the NBA's health and safety protocols, reports Wojnarowski.

Embiid, who has a three-month-old son, told ESPN that he plans to self-quarantine from his family until he is certain he didn't contract the virus.

Philadelphia's next game is scheduled for Saturday at home against the Nuggets.
