The novel coronavirus pandemic has had such a profound impact around the world, and to limit its spread around the NBA, the league suspended its 2019-20 season on March 11 for the Cleveland Cavaliers and other teams after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.
As of now, it is unclear if the league will resume the current season at some point, given concerns regarding the novel coronavirus. Since Gobert, other players that have tested positive for COVID-19 have been Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, Christian Wood of the Detroit Pistons, and as of Tuesday, the Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant, who has not experienced symptoms, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
