The NBA decided to suspend its season Wednesday shortly after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19, postponing their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Since then, the NHL, MLS, Major League Baseball have followed suit in pausing its seasons. And as of Thursday, the NCAA cancelled its winter championships, including March Madness.
Hopefully for the NBA, it doesn’t come to that.
