The NBA Made the Only Choice it Possibly Could
NEW YORK – Unprecedented.
Awful.
And necessary.
The NBA suspended its season indefinitely on Wednesday after a Utah Jazz player—All-Star center Rudy Gobert, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to SI.com—tested positive for COVID-19. The coronavirus has spread across more than 100 countries, causing a global pandemic. In a statement, the NBA said it “will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward.”
The decision shocked millions.
It shouldn’t have.
