As coronavirus continues to spread throughout the world, almost all major sports’ leagues including the NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS and European soccer leagues have suspended their seasons indefinitely in order to limit exposure to players, coaches, fans and other team officials.
The first athlete to contract the virus in the U.S. was Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, who tested positive on March 11 causing an NBA game between the Jazz and Thunder to be called off after his diagnosis was reported. Other athletes around the world have also been infected leading to full cancellation of seasons, or postponement until the gathering of large crowds is deemed safe.
