ANKARA (AA) - NBA team Utah Jazz's Donovan Mitchell tested positive for the coronavirus, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said on Thursday.

"Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive," Wojnarowski posted on Twitter.

Jazz's All-Star shooting guard became the second infected NBA player after his teammate Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 late Wednesday.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) previously announced that it suspended the remainder of the season due to coronavirus outbreak.
