In an announcement on the NBA network, it was confirmed that a player of the Utah Jazz has tested positive for COVID-19. The World Health Organization has since elevated the COVID-19 spread’s qualification to a pandemic after the virus has infected over 118,000 people in 114 countries.

The league’s announcement did not name the player, but other reports identified it to be Rudy Gobert. The test result for the Jazz player was confirmed just before the tip-off of the supposed game between Utah and the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Meanwhile, NBA assured fans in its statement, “The affected player was not in the arena.”
