Wood is feeling fine, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the Pistons nor Wood had publicly confirmed his positive result. Wood's diagnosis became known one week after he played against the Utah Jazz -- spending much of that night matched up with Rudy Gobert, who was the first NBA player known to test positive for the virus.
"A player on the Detroit Pistons, who is under the care of team medical staff and in self-isolation since Wednesday night, was tested for COVID-19," the team said. "A preliminary positive result came back on March 14. The health and safety of our players, our organization, those throughout our league, and all those potentially impacted by this situation is paramount."
The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered.
"The darkest nights produce the brightest stars," Wood wrote on Instagram earlier in the week, his comment coming alongside a photo he posted of him dunking over Gobert -- the NBA's reigning defensive player of the year and a first-time All-Star this season.
He must be Pist off.
