Rudy Gobert of the Jazz has COVID-19.

This is getting pretty crazy guys. Buckle up, this is just the beginning.
 
Donovan Mitchell tested positive as well. Saw some reports that said Rudy Gobert was being careless and touching the players and their belongings.

I’m hearing some reports that the NBA season might be resumed on June 1, which would already put the qualifying teams into the playoffs, which leads me to believe they may just continue to ‘play out’ the season if that’s the situation.

Now, if things continue to improve, then I could see Adam silver reinstating the season much earlier, but at this point, I’d say that’s unlikely.

Speaking of Adam silver, can we just take a second to recognize how brilliant of a man he is, and amount of heat he has taken, but doing the ‘standup thing’ for what’s right for the league. I’m glad he’s not only looking at the dollar amount the NBA is losing, but in the interest of the fans/players protection.
 
Yes, kudos to Adam Silver! The NBA shutting down was the biggest domino to fall early on, causing that chain reaction.
 
Kevin Durant & three other Net players have tested positive for the CV.

Dang.

 
The NBA season is done. And that includes the playoffs. It’s not even so much of the ‘spread amongst players’, it’s really about the fans moving forward for such a large audience In regards to containment, not to mention, there’s been plenty of discussion amongst analyst(s) where is the NBA season even pick up from here if it were to be reinstated? The playoffs were slated to start within three weeks, and there are certain teams that are on the brink of making the playoffs, and how do you put those pieces together given the circumstances? There’s no doubt my mind at the end of the season is now.
