Thunder-Jazz was just canceled. PA announcer said to the crowd, "You're all safe." Um. Are you sure?

right before tip off apparently

Rudy Gobert really thought touching a bunch of mics during a global pandemic would be a hilarious move... and he was right hahahahahahaha

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.

Gobert’s idiocy might save lives by bringing this into focus

season suspended

Wow

What a fucking moron

Holy shit

Hoooly shit

wow

agree w/matt, as much as i doubt it we can only hope that gobert's very public stupidity causes people to think about their actions

Lmao polyphonic

Does literally stopping the entire league win you DPOY?

this is crazy but also good on the nba imo

fuck

Rudy Gobert is a moron.

Prior to tip-off as the game was delayed, Chris Paul ran over to the Utah bench and said “what’s wrong with Rudy?” and they all yelled for him to get away. Now all the players are quarantined in their locker rooms, being tested for the virus.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!??

Yeah, suspending play until they can get a reasonable plan in place was pretty much the only choice the league had. I'm sure the player's union will want some input on this, too. I'd say it will be a week of suspension at the absolute minimum, and possibly the season and playoffs cancelled at the maximum. It could even be both, sequentially, as the games come back briefly, then it becomes untenable. Fuck. Yet another piece of our 'happy place' gone to shit.

Goddamn looks like I’m gonna have to find a bunch of shit to binge watch now. What are the kids into now? The Outsider?

the season is no longer regular nor degular

mods

irregular iddegular

got me shook now

i think they could probably rebound quickly with a plan to play all games in empty arenas except for the fact that the entire utah jazz team probably now has it?

just DQ the jazz who cares about that team

oh yeah, i'm 100% on board with that

ahhh lol

Look up Dr Sebi my friends https://t.co/C3D6YOH6xx

for chrissakes

dolan, excellent

NBA owners discussed this possibility on a call earlier today; at that point they were weighing games without fans vs suspending the season. According to @WojESPN, only the Knicks wanted to do neither, advocating business as usual until ordered to do differently by the govt. https://t.co/2vmI5Msp40

Boban leaving it all out there on the court.

dolan as usual with the cleareyed approach to things

surreal
