The Utah Jazz were in Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder when, immediately before tip-off, both teams were escorted to their locker rooms. The PA announcer would soon tell fans that the game was postponed, stating it was “due to unforeseen circumstances” but that everyone in attendance was “safe.”

The Athletic’s Shams Charania then shocked the sports world when he said Utah center Rudy Gobert had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert has tested positive for coronavirus, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Sources say Gobert is feeling good, strong and stable — and was feeling strong enough to play tonight.

The NBA would cancel the season shortly after. Soon after that, video would surface showing Gobert making light of the coronavirus by touching all the microphones arrayed before him.

He was blasted for that and even more when teammate Donovan Mitchell tested positive as well.
