On Wednesday night, the NBA suspended play until further notice following the conclusion of Wednesday's games after a player on the Utah Jazz tested positive for coronavirus.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was at his team's game against the Nuggets when he learned of the news.
"This is crazy. This can't be true," Cuban told ESPN's Tom Rinaldi of his initial reaction. "I mean, it's not within the realm of possibility. It seemed more like out of a movie than reality."
The news came after a player on the Utah Jazz has preliminarily tested positive for coronavirus.
