Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell says he's feeling good despite testing positive for the coronavirus.
Mitchell delivered a message to Jazz and NBA fans as a whole on Saturday. He and teammate Rudy Gobert are the only players in the league that we know have the coronavirus:

The NBA suspended the season on Wednesday after Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. Mitchell is reportedly upset at Gobert for not taking the coronavirus outbreak more seriously.
To recall, Gobert touched a bunch of reporters' mics recently as a joke.
Both Mitchell and Gobert made their first NBA All-Star teams this season. Mitchell, one of the best young scorers we have in the game, is averaging 24.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists on the season for the Jazz while shooting 45.3 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from beyond the arc and 85.9 percent from the free-throw line.
Gobert, meanwhile, is putting up 15.1 points, 13.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He's the reigning two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
The Jazz went 41-23 before the NBA suspended the season. If the campaign starts back up again, the Jazz will be in fourth place in the Western Conference standings.
Utah has lost to the Houston Rockets in the last two postseasons. No one really knows if the NBA is going to start up the season again. Some inside the league are hopeful for a summer restart, even if it means the 2020 NBA Finals have to be played in August or September.
