The past few days have been brutal for Utah Jazz fans, NBA fans and sports fans all across the world. The novel coronavirus continues to spread around the world, and after Rudy Gobert‘s initial diagnosis, the NBA quickly suspended its season, and other leagues followed suit.
It would then be learned that Donovan Mitchell also contracted the virus. Gobert and Mitchell, who were named first time All-Stars earlier in the season, became the first two NBA players with novel coronavirus.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has been all over the story, first reporting about Mitchell’s diagnosis while also pointing out that Gobert had been careless in the locker room prior to his own diagnosis.
