The nonlocal Schrödinger equation for the two-nucleon potential derived from the interaction between constituent quarks is applied to calculating the ground state properties of the deuteron, using quark parameters consistent with single baryon data. We conclude that the two-nucleon nonlocal equation affords a very decent description of the deuteron.
