I believe this was the right move even though I hate the situation behind it. Last night Wednesday March 11th, 2020 the National Basketball Association suspended it’s 2019-2020 and will go on a hiatus. This news broke after Jazz star Rudy Gobert was tested positive for COVID-19 aka Coronavirus. The league believes Gobert contracted the virus after a post-game press conference this past Monday. Gobert seemingly joked about the virus then proceeded to touch every reporter’s microphone before exiting the interview.
