Utah Jazz players Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell were both diagnosed with Coronavirus in the last 24 hours. Though the seriousness of their infections isn’t known yet, the NBA obviously could take no chances in regards to the Virus. They suspended the season very quickly after the announcement that Gobert had tested positive. How will this impact the Portland Trail Blazers and the league?
Since that announcement, the NBA’s G-league has been postponed. The NCAA has cancelled March Madness, and then FIBA has postponed all international events. We won’t speculate of the seriousness of the virus but obviously the virus has taken hold in some first world countries with a large amount of fatalities.
