All 30 NBA teams are expected to participate in a newly announced coronavirus antibody study led by the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Although, that belies the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has struck closer to home for some teams more than others.
Take the Minnesota Timberwolves, for example. Star center Karl-Anthony Towns lost his mother to the coronavirus last month, making his team one of the first to truly understand the deadliness of the virus. The Timberwolves practice facility is also just about an hour away from the Mayo Clinic, which will use a finger prick to draw blood to try and determine how many of the league’s coaches and players have developed coronavirus antibodies, according to Reuters.
