The season was indefinitely suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11, 2020[3] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[4] A day later, on March 12, it was revealed that Donovan Mitchell had also tested positive for the virus.[5] Before this, Gobert and Mitchell were selected to play in the 2020 All-Star Game in Chicago.
