NBA suspends season after Rudy Gobert tests positive for COVID-19
In an unprecedented move, the NBA has today announced that the rest of this year’s season will be suspended due to concerns over the rapid spread of COVID-19. The news was announced earlier this evening after rumours started to swirl that Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert had tested positive for the disease. In a statement, the NBA writes: “A player on the Utah Jazz has preliminarily tested positive for COVID-19. The test result was reported shortly prior to the top-off of tonight’s game between the Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena. At that time, tonight’s game was canceled. The affected player was not in the arena.
