Today is the one year anniversary of the NBA’s coronavirus season suspension, back when things were “normal”

This last year has been about many changes in our lives. We aren’t going to basketball games at Capital One Arena anymore. We have to wear masks everywhere we go. And we are using hand sanitizer and disinfectant more than ever before.

Today also marks the one-year anniversary of the NBA’s suspension of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic. A positive test by Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert forced the league to suspend play for four months. In fact, NBA’s decision to suspend play triggered similar decisions across nearly every sport throughout the country and the world.
