Utah Jazz Players Said To Be Highly Frustrated With Rudy Gobert

by Daryl Nelson

Yesterday, Donovan Mitchell seemed to shade Rudy Gobert for giving him the Coronavirus, suggesting Gobert was irresponsible. 

Gobert had wiped his hands on the mics in the Utah Jazz's press room as a joke before being diagnosed.  He was also said to have been careless in the locker room, touching other players and their belongings. The 2019/2020 NBA season was suspended after Gobert tested positive.

Gobert apologized to the people that he "endangered" in an Instagram message posted on Thursday.  But that hasn't kept his teammates from being frustrated with him, according to ESPN. 

“The Jazz are fortunate that they don’t have to get back together and start playing games again right now. There is a lot of work to do to repair relationships...there’s a lot of frustration with Gobert.”

"The Jazz are fortunate that they don't have to get back together and start playing games again right now," said ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "There is a lot of work to do to repair relationships. There's a lot of frustration with Gobert."

Do you think Gobert will eventually be forgiven?
