Detroit Pistons big man Christian Wood is back at full health after being diagnosed with COVID-19 less than two weeks ago.

Wood is "feeling great and fully recovered" from the illness, his agent told Dana Gauruder of The Detroit Free Press on Wednesday.

A player must test negative twice within a 24-hour span to be officially cleared of the COVID-19 virus. Wood tested negative Wednesday and will undergo a second test Thursday, according to Rod Beard of The Detroit News.

The 24-year-old, one of 10 NBA players who contracted the coronavirus, was reportedly asymptomatic when he was diagnosed March 14.

There have been over 460,000 confirmed cases and over 21,000 deaths worldwide due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University.
