Major professional sports leagues have been preparing for the worst as of late as the coronavirus continues to gather momentum in the United States. Their provisions came to a head when NBA commissioner Adam Silver slapped the Doomsday button on Wednesday night.
Silver suspended the NBA season after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the COVID-19 virus prior to a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As the league took immediate action and games were postponed, we got radio silence from the San Antonio Spurs officials, players, coaches and personnel.
More information will trickle out in the coming days with the league taking this time to devise a plan of attack for the remainder of the season.
