Jazz and Gobert were in the Garden just 5 days ago. Does that mean the team needs to go into quarantine for 2 weeks?

Gobert joked about it a few days ago and he comes down with it. Yikes.

So I guess NO/SAC game tonight on ESPN will be canceled too.

Right now, that one is still on. 

It's the last one.

Idk, but Jazz and Thunder players are being quarantined right now

This numbskull deliberately touched all of the mics and recorders on the table in front of him at a press conference. 

At the time, it was already a dumb, insensitive joke.  Now?  I don't even know what to say.

Indefinite suspension has to mean no more games this season (playoffs included) I imagine, right?

It means that games are off until they are safe to play again.  Nobody knows what timeframe we're looking at.  There isn't one.

Wasn't LeBron complaining about lack of fans in attendance the other day?

This looks like serious business

Following Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, the NBA is in an indefinite suspension.
just caught that news on Boston Sports Tonight.  knew it'd just be a matter of time before someone in the league tested positive.  I'm sure Gobert will be one of the majority of people that only have mild symptoms since he's in really good condition as a pro athlete but as others have started asking, with him playing games how many fellow players and fans did he infect.  he was supposedly mocking the whole virus awareness and made a point of making lots of physical contact with media and fans lately

Nor necessarily. Perhaps in a 5-6 weeks, if things have improved and the players are all healthy they come back with an abbreviated postseason. Best of 5 for every before Finals.

But, that has to be a best case scenario, right?

And of course the jerk was touching a bunch of microphones and equipment...
