On Wednesday night, around 9:30 p.m. EDT, the National Basketball Association (NBA) suspended their regular season indefinitely over concerns regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

ESPN Staff Writer Royce Young, reported that the NBA’s decision came moments after it was confirmed that Utah Jazz player, Rudy Gobert, tested positive for the virus.  Utah was scheduled to play the Oklahoma City Thunder.  Young reports that the game was seconds away from starting, when Donnie Strack, Director of Medical Services for OKC, ran on the court to alert referees of the situation.  The game was immediately postponed and subsequently cancelled.

That was Wednesday.

On the following day, Mar. 12, basically all professional and collegiate sports in the United States ceased being played for the immediate future.
