Even new Nets are getting COVID-19

New Nets forward Michael Beasley tested positive for coronavirus and left the NBA restart in Orlando, Fla., The Post confirmed.

It brings the number of Nets who have tested positive for the coronavirus to a staggering eight, with a ninth having opted out of the restart over COVID-19 concerns. The news was first reported by the Athletic.

Beasley, who was signed on July 8 as a replacement player, may end up getting replaced himself. The Nets brought back 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward Lance Thomas as a replacement Tuesday, giving them some size and locker-room experience.

The 32-year-old Thomas — who was teammates with Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City from 2011-13 and is believed to be respected by the Nets star — spent four-plus years with the Knicks before getting waived last summer. Thomas spent this past preseason withBrooklyn.

Thomas’ addition would have meant the Nets couldn’t sign any more replacements unless another player was lost to the virus.

Beasley, Tyler Johnson and Jamal Crawford were all still in their initial quarantine periods, and hadn’t yet joined the Nets at practice in the so-called bubble. But with Beasley now having testing positive, they could well add Justin Anderson, who has been waiting in the wings.

Anderson was summoned after Wilson Chandler opted out of the restart, the 6-6, 230-pound lefty is in Orlando in the midst of his own quarantine period.

“I just got to Orlando yesterday, following protocol. I had a negative test, waiting on the next result. I have to get another one,” Anderson said on the J Willy Show, a Virginia basketball podcast.

“Very strict protocol, but it’s all worth it just to make sure entering the bubble everything is clean and clear for everybody who’s already in there, and myself as well. So I’m back in Orlando right now.”

Anderson spent most of the season in the G-League, averaging 20.6 points and 6.6 rebounds split between Raptors 905 and the Long Island Nets. He did get a 10-day contract with Brooklyn and spent the shutdown trying to stay on the NBA’s radar.
