Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart announced on Thursday he has tested positive for COVID-19. He made the revelation shortly after the Celtics announced that a single player on the team had produced a positive test.

“I’m OK. I feel fine,” Smart said. “I don’t feel any of the symptoms. But I can’t stress enough practicing social distancing and really keeping yourself away from a large group of people. Just really washing your hands — and help protect yourself and help others by protecting yourself.”

Smart’s announcement arrived on top of multiple positive COVID-19 cases either confirmed or reported among NBA teams on Thursday.

Those teams include the Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets. Details on those cases can be found here.
