Sources: Pistons' Wood tests positive for virus

Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood has tested positive for the coronavirus, a league source told ESPN'S Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wood, 24, is the third known player in the NBA to have a positive test for the virus, along with Utah Jazz players Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell.

Wood scored 30 points in last Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Jazz. According to Second Spectrum, Wood and Gobert matched up in the half-court 63 times in that game. They were involved in a dust-up in the fourth quarter that resulted in double technical fouls.

Gobert became the first NBA player to test positive for the coronavirus shortly before tip-off of Wednesday's game in Oklahoma City against the Thunder. A short time later, the game was postponed, and within hours the NBA suspended its season for a minimum of 30 days.

Mitchell tested positive for the virus later Wednesday.

Teams that played the Jazz recently -- including the Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics -- were expected to self-isolate through at least this weekend. The Toronto Raptors -- the last team to play Utah on Monday in Salt Lake City -- had their entire travel party tested Wednesday night and into the early hours of Thursday morning, with all of them coming back negative.

Wood is averaging 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds this season. On Wednesday, he had career-high 32 points and seven rebounds against the 76ers in the final game before the league suspended the season.
