There appears to be some drama within the Utah Jazz locker room after both Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell tested positive for coronavirus this week.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, many in the Jazz locker room blame Gobert for goofing off and being ‘careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings’.

After testing positive for the coronavirus Mitchell appeared to take a shot at Gobert in his public statement when he pleaded with fans “to behave responsibly’ during the crisis.

Gobert has since apologized for his behavior in an Instagram post but we’ll see if that’s going to be good enough to repair his relationship with his teammates.
