Due to 1 of the players testing positive for COVID-19 on the Utah Jazz, the National Basketball Association decided to suspend all further games during the season. The news comes on the trail of the biggest media pandemic to hit the entire world in a long time about the much talked about ‘Corona Virus’. Despite the symptoms being nothing more then similar symptoms involved with having a common cold or allergy, wide spread horror has erupted from coast to coast with schools shutting down, even the prestigious Harvard University.

The NBA will use this time to determine the next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic. Considering the physicality of the game and the league’s likely inability to control who players come into contact with in their personal lives they made the decision immediately once news of a positive result was released. The policies the league is enacting now are being taken in an effort to prevent the spread and further then it has already gone. The NBA has billions of dollars on the line with the suspension set in place so the league will do whatever is necessary to protect the safety of both the players/ league and the fans who come out to see their favorite team. Everyone is urged to wash their hands as often as possible, and use precaution when you go out into the streets.

We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately.
There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon.
I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever.
