NBA suspends play The National Basketball Asso- ciation announced Wednesday evening that it is suspending play until further notice in hopes of preventing the spread of COVID-19. The move comes as the climax to a chain of downward-spiraling events. On Wednesday morning, the Golden State Warriors declared that home games at the Chase Center would be played without fans in attendance. Later in the evening, the NBA postponed the Utah Jazz-Okla- homa City Thunder game in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, due to unforeseen circumstances. It was then revealed that the Jazz's All-Star Center Rudy Gobert had tested positive for coronavirus, leading to the game’s cancellation. It was later reported that Okla- homa City police had closed off Chesapeake Bay Arena, quarantin- ing the locker rooms. Players from both squads are also reported to have been quarantined. Wednesday, ESPN reported at 8:38 p.m. that the NBA had decided to suspend play for the foresee- able future. Play will cease today with no date set to resume action. In a statement, the NBA announced that it will use the hiatus to determine next steps going forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic. “This is crazy,” Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said in an inter- view with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi. “This can’t be true. It seemed more like out of a movie than reality.”
