The Jazz-Thunder game got called off right before tipoff and fans weren’t happy

Rudy Gobart’s illness led to a stunning postponement.

The Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder were about to start their game tonight in OKC when suddenly things took an uncertain turn with the refs instructing both teams to return to their respective locker rooms.

And then… everyone waited to find out what the heck was going on.

After a good 30 minutes or so the official word came down that the game would be postponed and played at a later date.

This stems from Jazz star Rudy Gobert being ruled out earlier in the day due to illness. With the coronavirus becoming an official pandemic on Wednesday, it appears that the players for both teams weren’t sure if they should play tonight’s game and this move led to everyone waiting to hear from the NBA if he game should go on or not.

Fans were not happy once the announcement was made:

Again, this all unfolded right before tipoff in what was a wild scene:
