Seth Curry was informed that he had tested positive for coronavirus while on the bench during Thursday's game between his team, the Philadelphia Sixers, and the Brooklyn Nets.

The Sixers spent the night in New York, where they have undergone further testing in accordance with NBA health and safety protocols.

Curry was out of Thursday's game with a left ankle injury, but spent the first quarter on the bench.

He was wearing a mask and was sitting next to assistant coach Sam Cassell and center Joel Embiid.

It was during that first quarter of the game, that the Nets won (122-109), when the Sixers learned that Curry had tested positive.

The player, brother of Warriors star Stpehen Curry, left the court to be isolated from the team.

Embiid, who has a three-month-old son, told ESPN that he plans to quarantine his family until he is sure they have not been infected with coronavirus.

The next game of the Sixers is scheduled for this Saturday, in Philadelphia, and in it they will face the Denver Nuggets.

Before the game against the Nets, Doc Rivers, the Sixers coach and father-in-law of Seth Curry, explained that the player had suffered an injury in the previous game, played on Wednesday, against the Washington Wizards.

He said he did not know at what exact moment the setback had occurred and added that he believed it was not a major injury.

At least 117 positives since March

The NBA had reported on Thursday, shortly before the games began to be played, that of the 498 players who had been tested for covid-19 in the last week, four had tested positive.

Previously, Chicago Bulls' Chandler Thompson and Tomas Satoransky had also tested positive.

According to official NBA figures, at least 117 players have contracted the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic and since the competition was suspended on March 11.
