Boston Celtics' Marcus Smart and two Los Angeles Lakers players test positive for coronavirus

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart says that he has tested positive for coronavirus.
"I was tested five days ago and the results came back tonight, which were positive," Smart wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
He says he's been self-quarantined since the test.
"I've had no symptoms and I feel great," Smart wrote in another tweet. "But the younger generation in our country MUST self distance. This is not a joke. Not doing so is selfish. Together we can beat this, but we must beat it together by being apart for a short while."

In a written statement earlier on Thursday, the Celtics, not naming Smart, said testing was initiated because of exposure to a known positive case.
"The Celtics player, who is not exhibiting symptoms, has been in isolation for several days and will continue to do so while being monitored by team medical staff," the organization said.
"The team is awaiting further testing results and will communicate them as appropriate. Taking steps to maintain the health and safety of everyone in our organization and across the NBA remains our top priority, and we will continue to work closely with health officials and the league in addressing this situation."
