Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert, the first NBA player to test positive for coronavirus, has pledged more than $500,000 to help idled arena workers and social services in Oklahoma City and France.
Utah All-Star center Rudy Gobert, the first NBA player to test positive for the coronavirus, has pledged more than $500,000 “to support both the employee relief fund at Vivint Smart Home Arena and COVID-related social services relief in Utah, Oklahoma City and within the French health care system,” the Jazz said in a news release on Saturday.
Gobert’s teammate, All-Star Donovan Mitchell, also tested positive when Jazz players and personnel were tested following Gobert’s diagnosis, which was discovered just before Utah was scheduled to play a road game against Oklahoma City.
