The Utah Jazz are at the center of everything going down in the NBA right now, and not for a good reason.
Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for coronavirus following the cancellation of Wednesday night’s game against the Thunder. He’s the second player to test positive for the virus from the team, per ESPN.
Rudy Gobert was the first Jazz player to test positive for Coronavirus and, reportedly was not taking the situation seriously.
We saw Gobert touching every microphone possible after his media availability a few days ago. According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski, players are saying that he was also being careless while touching them and their belongings.
Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive.

We don’t know exactly where Mitchell, or Gobert, contracted the virus. We can’t assume that this is all Gobert’s fault. It’s not necessarily fair to blame him for having it.
But let this be a lesson to us all — this is not a joking matter. It should absolutely be taken seriously..
