NBA: Houston Rockets’ Russell Westbrook announces he’s tested positive for coronavirus – Sports News , Firstpost
Announcing the news on his Instagram page, Westbrook wrote: “I’m currently feeling well, quarantined, and looking forward to rejoining my teammates when I am cleared.’
Lake Buena Vista: Russell Westbrook of the Houston Rockets said on Monday that he has tested positive for coronavirus, and that he plans to eventually join his team at the restart of the NBA season.
Westbrook made the revelation on social media. As recently as Sunday, the Rockets believed that Westbrook and James Harden — neither of whom travelled with the team to Walt Disney World near Orlando last week — would be with the team in the next few days.
In Westbrook’s case, that now seems most unlikely.
“I tested positive for covid-19 prior to my teams departure to Orlando,” Westbrook wrote on his Instagram page. “I’m currently feeling well, quarantined, and looking forward to rejoining my teammates when I am cleared.”
Westbrook is averaging 27.5 points, eight rebounds and seven assists per game for the Rockets this season. Houston have clinched a Playoff spot and resume their season with the first of eight seeding games on 31 July against Dallas.

Westbrook also offered a word of caution in his post.
“Thank you for all the well wishes and continued support,” he wrote. “Please take this virus seriously. Be safe. Mask up!”
