The Utah Jazz have had quite a night and it looks like it will only be getting longer as the team is not going to be able to leave Chesapeake Energy Arena and will spend the night quarantined inside the Thunder’s home arena.
This all comes after Jazz star Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday night before the team’s game was called off, which led to the NBA quickly suspending the season.
Gobert’s teammates have been getting tested for the coronavirus inside the arena and now they have to stay there and wait for the results, according to these reports:
Results on the Jazz players' tests should be available in roughly four hours. Plans are being made for the Jazz players to stay overnight at the arena. Other team personnel is still being tested at the team hotel.

The Jazz aren’t the only ones being quarantined. The teams that recently played Utah are, too:
Players from teams the Jazz have played within the past 10 days were told to self-quarantine, sources told @WindhorstESPN. Those teams are the Cavaliers, Knicks, Celtics, Pistons and Raptors. https://t.co/GNrXbC2xZl
