Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell Cleared of Coronavirus

Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of Utah Jazz have been cleared of COVID-19.

Gobert and Mitchell were the first two cases of COVID-19 infection to have come out in the NBA. It was with Gobert’s infection initially that the NBA suspended its league. A few days later, Gobert’s teammate, Mitchell became the second coronavirus case in NBA after which a few more followed.

Following the revelation, all the players and staff connected with the Utah Jazz organization went into quarantine. After two weeks in isolation, the franchise has announced that all of their players and staff have tested negative for the virus.

Do you remember when the Jazz and Thunder were about to tip off in front of a full crowd and then they called the game and then later we found out it was because Rudy Gobert had coronavirus?
That was two weeks ago today (Wednesday, March 11)
