Summary

This week, NBA teams started arriving at Disney World in Orlando as they prepare to restart the season. One team that has already arrived is the Utah Jazz, whose All-Star center Rudy Gobert was the first known NBA player to test positive for the coronavirus — and became embroiled in controversy when he intentionally touched reporters’ microphones and recorders. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Tony Jones to look at how that incident has affected Gobert’s life, where his relationship stands with teammate Donovan Mitchell, and whether the Jazz are ready to move forward.
