The Sixers lost Seth Curry with a knee injury prior to their game against the nets. It turns out, there is a much larger problem for Curry.

It was announced by Shams after the game, that Seth Curry has tested positive foe Covid-19. The entire Sixers team is in quarantine right now.
A big issue now is that Seth Curry sat on the bench with the team during the 1st quarter, possibly exposing the players and coaching staff. The game did conclude, which is a little shocking to find out.
The safety for the players and coaches may have been put into jeopardy, due to the fact the team knew about Curry’s positive test but kept playing.
Sixers All Star center Joel Embiid, who has a three-month-old-son, told ESPN he plans to self quarantine from his family until he is certain he didn’t contract the virus. Embiid sat next to Curry during the game. https://t.co/UXpdKZxp7g
