The NBA Has Suspended Its Season Due To Coronavirus
The NBA announced Wednesday (March 11th) they have suspended the remainder of the season until further notice after Rudy Gobert preliminarily tested positive for the coronavirus.

The NBA issued a statement saying they "will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic."
