After Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert was tested positive for coronavirus, his teammate Donovan Mitchell was also found infected, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Jazz players seem to be far from happy with Gobert’s behavior, despite the directives about the precautions that one should take to help prevent the spread of the virus. Wojnarowski reports that Gobert’s teammates are “privately saying” that the French big man had been “careless” while touching other Jazz players and their belongings.
Gobert was also criticized for purposefully touching microphones and cellphones of reporters with a carefree attitude following a pre-game presser, just two days before he was found positive for COVID-19.

Last night’s game between the Jazz and the Oklahoma City Thunder never took place since the two teams were urgently called to return to their locker rooms just before tipoff. The reason was later revealed to be Gobert being tested positive for coronavirus.
