Rudy Gobert has tested positive for the coronavirus and will be inactive for at least the next five days as he enters the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Gobert joins teammate Joe Ingles in protocols. UtahJazz TakeNote
In March 2020, Gobert’s diagnosis shut down the NBA. His second positive shows how much and how little has changed in two years.
The French center, the league’s Defensive player of the Year last season, missed Wednesday’s Jazz game against the Denver Nuggets due to what the team called a non-COVID illness — thanks to two negative rapid tests during the day. But overnight, a PCR test taken returned positive, entering Gobert into the league’s protocols.
Overall, 35 NBA players are currently in the NBA’s COVID health and safety protocols. Until this week, the Jazz had escaped having a player test positive for the virus this season, until Joe Ingles was first on Tuesday. They were the last team without a positive test.
