Loser

Carelessness is giving absentmindedly giving someone a handshake because how you greet people ordinarily. I'd say the issue is more than carelessness.

This should serve an an example to all of us that we need to be more aware!

Jack ass

talk about dropping the ball.

I took it as him demonstrating he wasn't walking on eggshells afraid to get it. He wasn't aware he tested positive. I think people need to look beyond what he did and take his apology as he didn't mean to offend anyone or make light if it. I don't follow him but I can forgive.

🤔

Schmuck!

He just played his last game with the Jazz. He’ll be released if he’s under contract. No one will sign him.

too late... for your stupidity...and lack of respect on things. I wish you will also be rejected from the game for live too.

He makes no excuse..except to say 'I didn't know I was infected' ... Sounds an awful lot like an excuse

How could he have been so obtuse? CDCgov CDCemergency WHO NBA

Just goes to show, do not get your insight/examples and information from athletes Want to learn how to dribble, he's your guy

Suspend him for the rest of the year

Is he the guy that rubbed his hands all over the microphones or was that the other guy

ShamsCharania SNKenReid I didn't understand how the positive result was announced so quickly, since testing usually takes a long time to get results. Maybe he was tested earlier in the day and it wasn't until the gametime that his results were ready? I'm confused. Good on NBA for shutting down tho

NBA Suspends Season After Player Tests Positive For CoronavirusUtah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive at a game. PERSPECTIVE: The 2009 H1N1 outbreak KILLED 284,000 people, 70 times as many as COVID-19. Did the NCAA Tournament ban fans? Did the NBA cancel their season? Did we have nationwide quarantines? Did schools close? Did ANY of that happen? No. Why? No media hysteria!!!
