Rudy Gobert faced a wave of criticism due to his reckless behavior before testing positive for the coronavirus. Kevin Durant’s brother didn’t pick words to express his feeling after learning that a kid who took Gobert’s autograph got the virus.

Tony Durant responded to the news on Instagram with the following message, per Orlando Silva of Fadeaway World: “Dumb a** kept playing and sh*t he knew he had that sh*t.”

In the wake of these events, the French center issued a public apology. He also pledged to donate a total of $500,000 to virus related matters.

It is worth noting that not everyone was critical of the Utah Jazz center. For instance, Danny Green of the Los Angeles Lakers said it could have happened to anyone.
