Gobert, Jazz meet Pelicans (and possibly Zion) as NBA resumes

The Utah Jazz were squarely in the spotlight when the NBA season was suspended March 11.

The New Orleans Pelicans were making a push to play on a bigger stage.

They'll share the marquee when the season resumes Thursday in the NBA "bubble" near Orlando, Fla.

Back on March 11, when Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19, the NBA canceled his team's game in Oklahoma City that night. Gobert came under fire for his action in the days prior, when he made light of the virus and touched reporters' microphones and reportedly acted similarly by touching teammates and their belongings before he knew he was infected.
