In one of the most surprising developments in recent sports history, the NBA has made the decision to suspend the remainder of the season. The Atheltic’s Shams Charania announced the news first on Twitter, with the additional note that the decision came after the decision came after the Utah Jazz’s center, Rudy Gobert, tested positive for COVID-19.
Just prior to tip-off between the Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder, a Thunder medical staffer ran on to the court, according to Royce Young. Shortly after, both teams left the floor and went back to their respective locker rooms.
