It’s officially been two years since the infamous Utah Jazz vs. Oklahoma City Thunder game that never started due to Jazz center Rudy Gobert testing positive for COVID-19. Moments before tipoff, the NBA decided to cancel the game due to Gobert’s positive case, which was the first known case in the league.
The Thunder entered the game just a full game back from the Jazz for a top-four seed in the Western Conference standings. A home win would mean that the Thunder would be a top-four seed just a month before the season initially was supposed to end.
