MIAMI (AP) — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that the league’s hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic will likely last at least a month, or roughly what would have been the remainder of an uninterrupted regular season.
It was Silver’s first public comments since the league suspended play Wednesday after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus, or COVID-19.
A second Jazz player, Donovan Mitchell, said Thursday that he has also tested positive.
The 30-day minimum hiatus would mean no games until at least April 10. The regular season was to end April 15.
