Michele Roberts, Executive Director of the NBPA, said she has not heard from players who are upset with Rudy Gobert.

Gobert was the first NBA player that was tested positive for the coronavirus and his teammates in the Utah Jazz were reportedly upset with his reckless behavior in the locker room. His teammate, Donovan Mitchell, was also tested positive for the virus.

“I have not even by any stretch of the imagination heard from players that they think Rudy is somehow going to bear the scarlet letter.

I mean, he’s one of their brothers. He’s one of their teammates,” Roberts told David Aldridge and Wos Lambre on the Hoops Adjacent Athletic podcast.

The NBA has suspended the season for at least 30 days due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
