Jazz-Thunder Postponed After Players Returned to Locker Room Prior to Tipoff

Wednesday night's Jazz-Thunder contest was postponed after the two teams reportedly awaited word from the NBA on whether to proceed with the game.

After taking part in normal warmups, players walked off the court just before tipoff, beginning what was a more than 30-minute delay. The game was eventually called off.

Utah center Rudy Gobert and guard Emmanuel Mudiay were both listed on the pregame injury report with illnesses. Per ESPN's Royce Young, the Thunder's head team doctor came "sprinting" out to the court moments before tipoff in a move expected to be related to the cause of the delay.
