Antetokounmpo: ‘Take care of yourselves and your family’

Greece's Giannis Antetokounmpo called on his fans to protect themselves against the new coronavirus on Thursday, a day after the NBA said it was suspending its season following news that a few players had been infected.

"Basketball becomes secondary...Take care of yourselves and your family. Wash your hands often," he said in a Tweet on his official account.

Health authorities in the US said Thursday there are at least 1,459 cases of the novel coronavirus in the country.

Basketball becomes secondary... Take care of yourselves and your family. Wash your hands often.
