根據The Athletic的Shams Charania報導,NBA Together計劃正在要求從武漢肺炎中康復的NBA球員考慮捐贈血漿:

NBA Together是在武漢肺炎爆發後成立的,因為NBA目前暫停了2019-20賽季。
NBA Together支持的工作之一是協助COVID-19康復等目標。該目標召集了頂級醫學專家,以確定捐贈血漿是否有助於治療武漢肺炎。
一些NBA球員對COVID-19的測試結果呈陽性。該小組成員包括猶他爵士隊的Rudy Gobert和Donovan Mitchell,布魯克林籃網隊的Kevin Durant,波士頓凱爾特人隊的Marcus Smart和底特律活塞隊的Christian Wood。所有球員都回報沒有症狀或已經從傷病中康復。
