Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert may be forever associated with the NBA suspending its season in March because of COVID-19.

In his new interview, Gobert admitted that he felt scapegoated when it was announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and feels like he shouldn’t be blamed.

There have been many players who’ve voiced concern about returning, especially since numbers of positive COVID-19 cases in Florida have been going up in recent weeks.

Additionally, on Friday, June 26, the NBA and the players union said of the 302 players that were tested for COVID-19, 16 tested positive.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver expressed concern about the increase in Florida’s COVID-19 cases during a conference call on Friday, June 26.
