The NBA can’t test every player in the league for the coronavirus due to a shortage of tests, per Sam Amick of The Athletic.

The NBA has suspended the 2019-20 season for at least 30 days after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. His teammate Donovan Mitchell has it too:

But as is the case in the rest of the country, there’s a massive obstacle here that is keeping league officials from getting a clear view on the magnitude of the problem as it pertains to their players: Not enough tests. And when the league’s owners held a call with Silver and his senior management team earlier on Thursday, sources say two things were made abundantly clear.

The league’s schedule would be suspended for at least 30 days, with the plan to re-assess the unprecedented landscape at that point.

While many owners might want all of the league’s players to be tested so that they could all have a medical baseline from which to work, it’s simply not possible. Not even for the rich and famous. Not yet, anyway.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league could start again. He also said the 2019-20 season may be over. Right now, it’s impossible to tell.

Gobert and Mitchell were the only players on the NBA to have the coronavirus.
