AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE

Per Shams

Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert has tested positive for coronavirus, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Sources say Gobert is feeling good, strong and stable — and was feeling strong enough to play tonight.

The season is going to be shut down for two weeks, at least, IMO. There’s too much contact among players to play games.

@wojespn
The NBA has suspended the season.

@shams
Following Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, the NBA is in an indefinite suspension.

@wojespn
The NBA "will use hiatus to determine next steps moving forward," league says.

Called it. NBA had no other option after someone tested positive. Players touch each other way too much and travel too much to play with a possible infected person. Shut down for at least two weeks. Probably for the rest of the regular season in hopes that it’s season like the flu and the playoffs can happen during the summer.

Yep. I’m 50 which isn’t a risk group per se but I may have immune compromise from an illness I had in 2015. Not fun. (Although to be sure I did get over a flu in a week back in January... but I’m still super cautious...)

Rudy Gobert is an (bleep).

This is him a few mins ago, joking about being contagious and touching all the reporter microphones.

I hope there is a playoffs because it would be a shame to waste this Lebron season. I don’t think we can expect this level of play for much longer.

This is probably the Lakers best shot for #17 in the LBJ era.
