SALT LAKE CITY — As the NBA gets set to return to real action Thursday after more than four months, Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert is once again at the center of attention, as his positive COVID-19 test on March 11 prompted the shutdown of the league.
In a story from inside the NBA’s bubble written by The Washington Post’s Ben Golliver that was published Wednesday, Gobert reiterated many of the things he told local media earlier this month when he spoke to them for the first time since March.
“The media portrayed it like I caused the NBA to shut down,” Gobert told Golliver.
