The Utah Jazz is one of the first NBA teams to enter the Orlando bubble in preparation for the restart of the season on July 30. This has prompted a rather cynical reaction from some of the players on the team as they arrived at Disney World on Tuesday. Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson posted a GIF on his Twitter account depicting how he feels at the moment, which prompted a reaction from teammate Donovan Mitchell.

Clarkson's imagery involves a young kid trapped inside what looks like his own crib. This is obviously a symbolism of how players are “jailed” inside the bubble, as one of the protocols to protect everyone within the venue from potentially contracting the coronavirus.
It's all in good fun, though, and Mitchell's reaction is quite telling of the same. We're sure that both guys understand the gravity of the situation, and will be more than happy to comply with the league's health and safety measures. After all, Mitchell himself was one of the first guys to test positive from COVID-19 in March, and we're certain that it was a traumatic experience for him.
The Jazz entered the hiatus with a very impressive 41-23 record, which places them fourth overall in a ruthless Western Conference. They suffered a significant loss during the quarantine period, though, with Bojan Bogdanovic undergoing season-ending surgery on his wrist. Utah will be hard-pressed to replace the 6-foot-8 swingman, who has proven to be a crucial piece in their squad in just his first season with the Jazz.
