At this point, the NBA did a no-brainer move in suspending the 2019-20 season for Cleveland Cavaliers and other teams due to novel coronavirus precaution after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for it on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, it was reported that Utah’s Donovan Mitchell also tested positive for COVID-19, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
In terms of the suspension for the league’s season, in an appearance on NBA on TNT on Thursday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that the league’s suspension would last “at least 30 days,” so it’s a while yet before the league’s back in action.
