2023 FIBA World Cup

Korea’s Ratliffe, Kim Jongkyu test positive in antigen test


Two key players for the Korea Men’s National Basketball Team are in danger of missing the Quezon City window of the 2023 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.

Ricardo Ratliffe of Jeonju and Kim Jongkyu of Wonju have tested positive for COVID-19 after taking an antigen test, a report from Chosun revealed.

The two are now waiting for their RT-PCR results.

Earlier this week, Lee Woosuk of Ulan and Kim Sunhyung of Seoul have undergone quarantine for testing positive for the virus as well.

Korea faces the Philippines on the 24th, New Zealand on the 25th, India on the 27th, then Gilas again on the 28th at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.
