Over the past hour, we had learned that Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus, the OKC Thunder-Utah Jazz matchup was postponed and the NBA was going to suspend regular season play after tonight, but the New Orleans Pelicans were still scheduled to battle the Sacramento Kings tonight...until just minutes ago.
Thank goodness for common sense. As I and many others had mentioned on Twitter right from the jump, there was absolutely no reason the Pelicans and Kings to take the floor. If the priority is to combat the coronavirus, to slow its spread through every corner of the country, everything needed to be suspended immediately.
