NBA's Donovan Mitchell Has Coronavirus, 2nd Jazz Player to Test Positive

NBA star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for COVID-19 -- aka Coronavirus -- just hours after his Utah Jazz teammate Rudy Gobert was diagnosed.

The 23-year-old All Star has not publicly commented, but ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski says players seem to be pointing the finger at Gobert not taking proper precautions.

"Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings," Woj says ... "Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive."

Media members are upset with Gobert also after he jokingly rubbed his hands all over mics and recorders while talking with reporters earlier this week (before he was formally diagnosed).
