Internet Star in COVID Quarantine Update

Brooklyn Webs star Kevin Durant is expected to miss out on up to 4 games as he needs a seven-day quarantine after being exposed to somebody who tested favorable for coronavirus.

The two-time NBA Finals MVP played on Sunday in the Webs’ 123-122 loss to the Washington Wizards but will now have to separate for up to a week to comply with the NBA’s COVID-19 health and security procedures, as per ESPN and The Athletic.

He will be allowed to return as soon as January 12, when the Webs play the Denver Nuggets, should he continue to evaluate unfavorable for coronavirus over the next 7 days.

Durant was amongst 4 Webs players who checked positive for COVID-19 in March, simply over 2 weeks after the NBA suspended its season on March 11 after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert became the very first player to check favorable for coronavirus

His week-long absence comes at a challenging time for the Webs, who fell to 3-4 after losing at home to the Wizards on Sunday, their 2nd straight loss and the fourth in the last five video games.
