Report: Jazz Guard Donovan Mitchell Tests Positive For Coronavirus

Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Mitchell is the second NBA player to have a confirmed case of the coronavirus. Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive on Wednesday night, shortly after a game between Utah and the Oklahoma City Thunder was cancelled.

"Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings," Wojnarowski wrote on Thursday. "Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive."

Gobert's positive test spurred the NBA to suspend competition for the 2019-20 season.
