After a series of alarming events led to the last-minute cancellation of Wednesday’s game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz, the NBA followed the lead of various other sporting bodies around the world and suspended its season due to novel coronavirus.
The news means that play for the Milwaukee Bucks and the NBA’s other 29 teams has, at the very least, been postponed until further notice.
The NBA took action after it was announced a Utah Jazz player had tested positive for COVID-19, with reports naming that player as All-Star center and reigning two-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert.
