News broke early this morning that Atlanta Dream star Kalani Brown has tested positive for Covid-19. Atlanta Dream center Kalani Brown tested positive for the COVID-19 virus during the initial quarantine period after the team traveled to Florida. She is in self-isolation off of the IMG Academy property under the care of physicians. Brown will miss the start of the 2020 season.
Kalani took to social media to explain that she is quarantining and looking forward to rejoining her teammates.
“On Thursday, July 9th I tested positive for COVID-19, four days after arriving at IMG and while in quarantine in preparation to play this WNBA season,” Brown said. “While I am feeling better now, my symptoms have been challenging, ranging from headache, to sore throat, chills/shivers, body aches, muscle aches, fatigue, difficulties with taste, and shortness of breath.
“I am still quarantined and unfortunately will be missing the start of season as I continue to fight this virus and hopefully fully recover. I am really looking forward to my first season with the Atlanta Dream, and cannot wait to join my teammates on the court once my health allows me to.”
The Atlanta Dream won’t rush Kalani’s return. The organization has said they will add Kalani to the active roster when it is safe for her to do so.
