Utah Jazz Got Drunk While Stuck In OKC Locker Room After Rudy Gobert’s Positive COVID Test, CP3 Paid For Alcohol 

 

On March 11, 2020, Rudy Gobert made fun of the coronavirus pandemic that had just begun. Gobert touched multiple microphones with his hand and taunted  reporters at an earlier press conference.

A couple of moments later, the big man tested positive for COVID-19, which led to the Jazz’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and eventually the entire NBA season getting suspended

On the most recent episode of JJ Redick’s ‘The Old Man & The Three’ podcast, Donovan Mitchell recalled what the night the NBA season came to an halt, was like.

Since no Oklahoma City hotel wanted them, they had to stay in the locker room for 9 hours and got drunk, courtesy of Chris Paul:

 

“It was just like, what can we do? We’re here, and shouts to [Chris Paul] he sent 15 bottles of wine that night. So we had food and we had wine, so we got drunk. I’m not gonna lie to you, we got drunk. Cause we’re just like, there’s definitely no game, we’re not gonna play for awhile, and you’re in a moment where…we’re sitting there like we don’t know what’s going to happen. We’re trying to drink to not be scared, you know, one of those moments where you’re helpless.”
