Westbrook will have to isolate himself from the team for a couple of weeks before he can rejoin them.
“I’m currently feeling well, quarantined, and looking forward to rejoining my teammates when I am cleared,” Westbrook said in his tweet. “Please take this virus seriously. Be safe. Mask up!”
The NBA said Monday that two other players had tested positive for the coronavirus upon arriving in Florida. The two players, who were not named, have since left the campus to isolate at home and are now in quarantine.
