Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus on Wednesday evening, and the decision to pause the season was made shortly thereafter, according to ESPN. After he tested positive, players on both his team and the Oklahoma City Thunder, their Wednesday night opponent, were quarantined in the arena, and the game was canceled.
