2020 five-star prospect, and Oklahoma State signee, Cade Cunningham was seen this week in the gym working out with Utah Jazz guard Emmanuel Mudiay.

As basketball slowly begins to return, the two were pictured working out together during a run by photographer Alex Gooden. Of course, Mudiay has been in the NBA since 2015 while Cunningham is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Mudiay and the Jazz will be among the 22 teams that will travel to the Walt Disney World Resort when the NBA season restarts next month near Orlando, Florida. The Jazz were fourth in the Western Conference when the season was suspended on March 11.

Meanwhile, the future of Cunningham is less certain at the moment.

The NCAA last week issued a one-year postseason ban to Oklahoma State after it ruled a former coach accepted bribes to influence student-athletes. Following the decision, speculation began to swirl that Cunningham could look to consider his options and transfer.

Cunningham has not addressed his future following the decision by the NCAA but projects to have plenty of options to consider in the coming weeks should he decide to transfer.

Jazz’s Rudy Gobert questionable against OKC Thunder on Wednesday

Rudy Gobert is questionable with an illness for the Oklahoma City Thunder game against the Utah Jazz.

The Oklahoma City Thunder might avoid facing the two-time reigning Defensive Player of the Year on Wednesday.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert is questionable with an illness, the Jazz announced. Point guard Emmanuel Mudiay is also questionable with an illness.

Gobert has been a key part of the Jazz’s success this season as he anchors the defense and averages 15.1 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

The last time the Jazz and Thunder played, Dec. 9, Gobert had 19 points and 17 rebounds.

Mudiay has fallen out of the rotation since point guard Mike Conley returned from injury and has played in just two of the last nine games.

The Thunder hope to get a victory and leap into fourth place in the Western Conference. The Jazz (41-23) enter Wednesday’s matchup one game ahead of Oklahoma City (40-24); as both teams have beat each other once this season, the Thunder would gain control of the tiebreaker with a victory.

The two teams will play against each other one more time this year, on April 13.
