Megan ArmstrongMar 11, 2020

The game scheduled between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz was postponed Wednesday night just before tipoff after a Jazz player preliminarily tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).

ESPN's Royce Young reported that the Thunder have since left Chesapeake Energy Arena, but the Jazz have not.

"The Jazz will need to coordinate with Oklahoma and Salt Lake City public health organizations before they can return to Utah, per sources," ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski added. "For now, the team is quarantined in OKC."
