It doesn't appear that Wilson Chandler intends to resign the lease at his Brooklyn Heights apartment building.
Less than 24 hours after the Brooklyn Nets announced that four players on the team had tested positive for the coronavirus, including Kevin Durant, Wilson was reportedly told by building management to stay out of all common areas in the complex. Wilson took to twitter on Wednesday morning to voice his displeasure with the building manager, which included the following gem: "Fuck that lady man."'

In a series of tweets, Wilson described how the building manager never asked how he was doing or if he had tested positive. Furthermore, the veteran forward estimates that there are over 300+ people in his building, not to mention all the deliveries that come through, and there's no telling how many of those people might unknowingly be infected.
Chandler's tweets read:
"Building manager called me saying “Oh, I seen Nets players had the virus. We would like to know your status. And if you could possibly stay out of the lobby etc. We can’t afford to lose our staff.”"
"Didn’t even ask was I ok, one. And two, she didn’t ask me if I had been tested and if it was negative or positive. Fuck this building man. I’m going home. Has to be 300 + plus ppl in this building coming and going. Plus Fed Ex and UPs deliveries, Amazon etc. Fuck that lady man."
The Nets have not yet revealed the three other players that have tested positive, and they are not at all required to do so. The only way we learned of Kevin Durant's positive test is because he issued a statement to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Kevin Durant Tests Positive For Coronavirus
Kevin Durant is reportedly one of the four Brooklyn Nets players who tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Brooklyn Nets confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that four players on the team had tested positive for coronavirus. Among them, superstar forward Kevin Durant.
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Durant has not shown any symptoms and says he's feeling fine as of now, but warned others to be mindful and keep themselves quarantined during this frightening time. Says Durant, "Everyone be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine. We're going to get through this."

Durant was reportedly with the Brooklyn Nets last week as they prepared to take on the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco. As we know, that game was scheduled to take place in an empty arena, but the NBA season was abruptly postponed once it was discovered that Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert had tested positive.
As of now, the Nets are the only team outside of the Jazz and Detroit Pistons who have had someone test positive for the coronavirus. Those infected include Utah's Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, as well as Detroit's Christian Wood. Worth noting, the Nets did not play the Jazz or the Pistons over the last two weeks before the shutdown.
As of this writing the other three Nets players who tested positive for the coronavirus have not yet been revealed. The team issued the following statement on Tuesday.
"All players and members of the Nets travel party are being asked to remain isolated, closely monitor their health and maintain constant communication with team medical staff," the Nets said in a statement. "The health of our players and staff is of the highest priority to the organization and the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible."
